God's Grace

GOD’S GRACE

G od’s love given freely

Without any cost,

Save that which He paid

When He died for the lost.

R edemption He offers

To all who will come,

And by ‘all’, He means all;

It’s not just for some.

A lways He’s ready

To love and forgive,

His patience will last

Just as long as we live.

C alvary was His picture

To show us His grace,

‘Twas His finest gesture

To save all our race.

E ven His Son’s life

He would not withhold,

So how could we wonder

If His love could grow cold?

Grace -- an unmerited

Gift from above,

A limitless, measureless,

Outpouring of love.

A love beyond reason

That cannot be taught,

God’s grace supersedes

All the shoulds and the ought.

Grace is a gift

Which He wants us to show,

That those who receive it

Will our Lord want to know.

Grace is the love

And the light or our Lord,

It is shown from the start

To the end of His Word.

Grace is much more

Than we can contain,

For each time we need it

God gives it again.

God’s grace should cause us

To give Him all praise,

Lift our hearts to the heavens

As His anthems we raise.

So when we are weary

No smile lights our face,

When our hearts feel lead heavy

Then we need our Lord’s grace.

Reach out and accept

All the love He will give,

And with joyful acceptance

In His grace daily live.
