Grace

​But for his Grace, I walk in peril
A wretch, he saved me thus
Toiled and troubled trails I tread
Thank God he lifted us

Alone I felt, drifting about
Seeking, not finding peace
Aware now that He is in me
Warmed now by his loving fleece

I go along, contented now
Without fear or loathing dread
Work is still work, the toil I bear
Without a craving or clinging head

A mind at rest, silence comforts me
My needs have all been met
I am what I am, complete enough
With God, I live as one and don’t forget

His presence with me now and always
Beyond this time and place
This temporary realm is a chance
Make better relationships and space

Creating something meaningful
Using gifts best as I can
I may not know how they will be used
God may have other plans

Going with the flow
Taking life in stride
Awake to possibility
Letting go ego, gratitude more than pride

The Grace of God is a gift
Freedom I have been given
Use it wisely, I have the choice
Living life, no regrets to have been driven
