~WERE IT NOT FOR GRACE~

 

WERE IT NOT FOR GRACE
(McHugh, Phillip James, Hamilton, David Ross)
(Sung by Larnell Harris)

Time measured out my days
Life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God
But knew Id never be so strong
I looked hard at this world
To learn how heaven could be gained
Just to end where I began
Where human effort is all in vain

Were it not for grace
I can tell you where Id be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

So here is all my praise
Expressed with all my heart
Offered to the Friend who took my place
And ran a course I could not start
And when He saw in full
Just how much His would cost
He still went the final mile between me and heaven
So I would not be lost

Were it not for grace
I can tell you where Id be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

Blessings to you as you enjoy another day in His presence.

~CONTINUALLY SEEKING GRACE~

Have you ever waited with joyful anticipation for the day to come when the person who hurt you and your family the MOST in the whole wide world got their comeuppance?

I sure have. I've thought about this very thing for many a day.

For several years now if you want to know the truth.

So why is it then, now that the day has finally arrived, do I feel so incredibly crummy on the inside? A day I believed would bring me some peace has only left me feeling empty and wanting...

This afternoon I was gently reminded by a loving friend to remember this one simple, but profound, thought...

"If there but by the Grace of God go I..."

Today I'm grateful and incredibly thankful the mistakes and poor choices I have made during my life have not been so grievous that they cost me all I ever held dear...

Blessings to you as you enjoy walking in your own two shoes...
