Threads of Faith 1. When I was in the shadows, My shoulders carried grief; I struggled for the strand of light That promised me relief. 2. A faith to move the mountains, The might of things not seen; The hope of peace in rolling seas, And grace to know these things. 3. I still stood in the shadows, My burden was as great; But up ahead a thread of light Was showing me the Way. 4. I stepp'd out of the shadows, My burden I laid down; The love of God had woven true, And cover'd like a gown. 5. My troubles turn'd to blessings, My fears to peace untold; Salvation came and fill'd my heart, And Life took in my soul.
