Because of Grace
by Barbara Philbrook

Because of grace I can now say no.
Grace is what gives me the strength on which to go.

I am able to see certain things are wrong,
and through God's grace I can be strong.

Grace removed the desire I had to sin,
and gave me the ability not to give in.

Grace encourages me when I am weak,
and makes me thirst so the truth I seek.

Grace is what helped me to understand,
that God holds us all in the palm of His hand.

Grace is a strength, will and desire.
It gets me going by setting my heart on fire.

Grace is knowledge, discernment and power.
It's what I need every minute of every hour.

Jesus died just to set me free.
Grace is what helps me enjoy that victory.

Because of grace I can be sure I won't fall.
God's grace is sufficient to get me through it all.
