Not for the works of our hands,
Not for the strength that we claim,
But by Your mercy, Lord, we stand
Covered in grace, we call Your name.
Not 'cause my husband earned it,
Not for what we've done or shown,
But 'cause Your love is perfect,
Let Your kindness overflow.
Let there be laughter in this house,
Let joy rise up and drive out doubt.
Let Your favor shine like morning light—
A blessing more than we could write.
Give him a job that speaks of You,
Greater than his résumé could do.
All we ask in Jesus’ Name,
By mercy and by grace.
We are the work of Your hand,
Children and wife, we believe—
That You can open any land,
Where hope and purpose freely breathe.
Your promise never fades away,
You're faithful now as yesterday.
So we will trust and boldly pray:
"Let it be done, Lord, in Your way."
Let there be laughter in this home,
Let blessings fall from Heaven’s throne.
Let Charles rise in what You’ve planned—
A calling shaped by Your own hand.
Not for our worth, but for Your Name,
We lift this prayer in faith again…
All we ask in Jesus’ Name,
By mercy and by grace.
Amen…
By mercy and by grace.
Amen…
Let joy fill this place.
