The Mystery of Grace

This song expresses the triumph of the saved when they reach heaven. The text is based off of a passage from Ellen White's book "Our Father Cares". It was written to be sung by Christine Martins at the 2024 NNEC Children's Ministry Retreat.

Lyrics:

Glorious will be our reward,

 As we gather there before the throne.

 We will see Him as He is;

 All our sins washed away;

 What a reward!

 On that day, we will shine forth.

 Angels touching harps welcome their King

 And a song of triumph peals

 As Christ comes with the saved;

 What a reward!

 There are homes for the pilgrims,

 And palms of victory;

 There are robes for the righteous

 And crowns of glory;

 All that has perplexed us will be plain;

 Things hard to understand will be explained,

 As the mysteries of grace unfold before us.

 Where our finite minds see confusion and broken promises,

 We will see a plan most perfect with beautiful harmony!

 We shall know that inf’nite love ordered times most trying,

 As we see His tender care we shall rejoice!

 As the mysteries of grace unfold before us.
