When visible result pleaseth not
The heart of simple man,
When failure lies at the end of a path,
Father, help me to see farther on.

The only judgements faithful and true
Are those You make, oh Lord;
The only opinion of true worth is Yours…
With You, I must find accord.

When I’ve fallen short
Of earthly expectation, I find
That Your arms are still open,
Your love still true,
And Your word is faithful to remind…
My worth not by works,
Into Your grace, I fall;
When my fallen flesh fails
My spirit wails
And comes running back to You.
