His Grace
Grace a race; forgiveness first.
Expects the best and not the worst.
It makes a way among the lost.
It gives regardless of the cost.
Cannot be bought or sold for price.
For all who seek; it's mighty nice!
Overlooked and undeserved.
The joys of freedom can be heard!
Grace is freedom dipped in love.
It's just a glimpse of up above!
An unearned taste; a flavor filled!
Not by man, but God be willed!
Amazing... surely it must be!
Grace my friend, for you and me!
What can one say; what words may fit?
That one could speak with God and sit!
Where have you been?
Alone within your snares of sin?
Run from self and seek His face.
Accept His gift He gives with Grace.
You know it's time; exhaust your will.
Call to Him, and then be still.
With open arms, He waits for you.
With Grace my friend; His words are true.
Guilt removed and minus night!
He lifts and holds you in His light!
No chain or lock will you retain!
Freedom waits... do not refrain!
Do not take lightly of its place.
Let He who gives, run that race.
Thank Him for days, in which you live.
And now you know... how to forgive.
When others see you; show His face.
Live in my friend... and with His Grace!
- Only through Him does freedom abide
