THE PEBBLES IN LIFE

The lessons that God teaches us
Will often come through pain
For the greatest things that we will learn
Often come through guilt and shame
For the treasure that they bring forth
God's grace that covers sin
Brings about a humbled heart
As we trust in Christ again
When we look inside ourselves
There's emptiness to see
But when we focus on our Lord
Our hope is built on Thee
And life becomes a stepping stone
Of treasures found but rare
For when we focus on our Lord
Our life is never bare
And all the pebbles that we find
Along our path in life
Are suddenly filled with precious gems
Secured by sacrifice
For these treasures are the building stones
That made our house stand strong
Because it's only by God's grace
We know that we belong
