God’s Grace
Shaun Cloonan 1978 (Fountain Valley)
It’s like a beam of light in a dark empty space
God’s Grace
It’s an acquittal in an ongoing court case
God’s Grace
It’s being forgiven when past actions can’t be erased
God’s Grace
It’s knowing love again when all there was is self-hate
God’s Grace
It’s being welcomed back with a warm embrace
God’s Grace
When shame & guilt ruled but now have been replaced
God’s Grace
When hopes now present in a once dark empty place
God’s Grace
When surrounded by friends you ignored when lost in a race
God’s Grace
It’s the card that trumps all, the spades of ace
God’s Grace
When fear and worry can no longer keep up with the pace
God’s Grace
It’s the glue that puts you back together like a once shattered vase
God’s Grace
It’s the smile that now resides upon your face
God’s Grace
It’s the unmerited favor that cannot be bought or chased
God’s Grace
It’s just one of the many gifts God carries in His briefcase
God’s Grace
