String of Pearls

Life is a string of pearls
Held together by a thread of hope
I place these grains of sand
In His faithful hands
And life is a string of pearls

See me, the perfect example
Of life and it's imperfect ways
Only one of the many
Whose heart has felt the touch of grace

I've seen moments of pain
Stolen by His healing
And all that remains is joy

Life is a string of pearls
Held together by a thread of hope
I place these grains of sand
In His faithful hands
And life is a string of pearls

Looking over my shoulder
I see the good He's made of things
Took me turning them over
To find what trusting truly means

I've had memories of pain
Broken by His healing
And all that remains is peace

Life is a string of pearls
Held together by a thread of hope
I place these grains of sand
In His faithful hands
And life is a string of pearls

Life would try to leave us bitter
Welling up inside us
Suffering in silence
Love has changed us for the better
I'm thankful for His touch
I'm grateful

Life is a string of pearls
Held together by a thread of hope
I place these grains of sand
In His faithful hands
And life is a string of pearls

Life is a string of pearls
Held together by a thread of hope
I place these grains of sand
In His faithful hands
And life is a string of pearls
