Sticky Mud – v2

The sticky mud, slimy mire

the troubles, the ways of the world

not a permanent sentence

we are released,

we are forgiven by the Lord

His strong hands do I cleave to

in Him alone can I trust

counting on my Savior

in the storms of life

filling me with His peace

On that rock I now stand

not understanding my purpose

assured by His steadfast love

how I will be fed,

saved by His infinite grace
