God’s Grace



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
