Marvelous grace of God

MARVELOUS GRACE OF GOD

God’s grace is unlimited like the waves on the shore

An ocean so boundless, rolling in evermore.

God bestows it upon us although we are flawed

We can’t comprehend it, but receive it with awe.

That marvelous grace, so wondrous and free

So full and complete that it reached even me

It’s God love everflowing, Unconditional love

As high as the heavens and the sky far above

It rings with the music of sins all forgiven

It’s hope for redemption when life’s not worth living

It’s poetry with lyrics that speak to my soul

It’s just what I need to be completely made whole.

It’s food for my spirit, cool water so sweet

It’s rest when I’m weary, a soothing balm for my feet

Yes, this grace is amazing, and so undeserved

It’s knowing my home is in heaven reserved.

Smoke rising in the air from bonfires here and there Hotdogs impaled on sticks, embers glowing Crisp and crunch as you bite In the evenings waning light More sights and sou...
