"Grace"

(Written today)

From God's hand I have received
grace
upon grace
upon grace.

My heart's desire from this day on
is to
constantly seek
His face.

God has so many things in store for me;
Wonderful things that I can’t yet see.
His plans for my life are perfect and good,
He will do everything that He said He would.

I trust Him completely. I know He is wise,
Even when all is not clear to my eyes.
As I wait patiently to discover His will,
My heart is at peace; all is quiet and still.

I know that one day I will know all the “whys”,
In that place of no pain; no tears; no goodbyes.
Until then, I know God is all that I need.
I’ll trust and obey; on His Word I will feed.

"Broken and Spilled Out"

(Written July 16, 1994)


Like the precious, rare perfume
That was poured at Jesus’ feet,
May my life be ever spilled out,
Its aroma rising sweet.

May I be a broken vessel
That’s presented unto Christ
As an offering, a sacrifice;
I’ll pour out my whole life.

With no regard for my desires,
May all my days be His.
I’ll put Him first, above all else,
For that’s what true love is.

May every moment be for Him,
His thoughts become my words,
His commands become my actions,
My heart with His love be stirred.

Broken and spilled out,
May that my life be –
I’ll abandon myself to His grace;
That many who know me
Will come to know Christ,
And together we’ll all see His face!
