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
