Grace

When my world has crashed and burned,
Every chance for redemption spurned,
When the world has all but spat in my face.
And my summer has turned to frost,
The lone battle fought and all been lost...
Lord, grant me your Grace!

When faith is a luxury I can't afford,
And life burdens me with its load,
When I'm enveloped in Death's stony embrace.
As the storm approaches, livid with thunder,
The oceans of life threaten to drag me under,
Father, in you I will find Grace!

When the tracks of my tears have faded in the dust,

The promises of love all crumbled into rust,

And all I want is to vanish without a trace, 

When the lines 'tween friend and foe blur,

And I cannot stand to go any further... 

I'll stand steadfast in your Grace!

When sleep eludes my restless soul,

And the fight has shattered my every bone,

When my demons have almost won the chase,

And the world calls me out for yesterday's crimes,

What I knew to be truth, now only filth and grime...

I pray for no more than Your Grace!

When my earthly journey has run its course,

And I stand in your presence forevermore,

I'll know when I gaze upon those pearly gates,

It was your love that steered me through adversity,

Your hand that led me through the uncertainty. 

I'm saved by the promise of your Amazing Grace!
