Your eye is on the sparrow, and Your hand it comforts me
From the ends of the earth to the depths of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen
You call me to Your purpose as angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demands
And I will run to You, to Your words of truth
Not by might not by power, but by the Spirit of God
Yes I will run the race, till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
Oh let me live in the glory, oh let me live in the glory
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
