Milk and Honey You draw me to Your waters to drown away my thirst. You said come without your money, come drink from my love first.

You’ve promised my hearts desire that my soul will delight in the richest of fare. It’ll all be waiting for me, when I take your hand and follow You there

I will run, you’ll take my hand, leading me on to Your promised land. You’ll take me there, to the land where I’m free. To land that flows with milk and honey.

Only By Grace Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I’m found No longer blind, I see.

I have chosen to run this race Determined to reach the end I have forgotten it’s only by grace That I can see your face

Refrain: Only by grace the eagles fly By that same grace You’ll lift me high I lift up my hands to you It’s you alone Who can show me the way The way to the Father’s throne.

O I’ve tried to walk alone It was to no avail But when all’s been said and done I know that I’m too frail.

Refrain: Only by grace the eagles fly By that same grace You’ll lift me high I lift up my hands to you It’s you alone Who can show me the way

Only by grace can I see That I can be all I’m called to be I lift up my eyes to you It’s you alone Who will lead me away Far away from my sin. © 2005, Robert Galea. Willow Pub. CCLI Licence No
