Worthy of Your Grace

You saw me in my darkest days
Your tears were in the rain
You held me when my faith was lost
and You picked me up again ~
You gave me strength and courage
to be the best I could be
And all the time that I was lost
You were always there for me.

You carried me when I'd lost my strength
and gave me hope to see
For Your Word is like a beacon
that lights the Way for me ~
You held me when the storms of life
became too much to bear
And restored the faith that I had lost;
Lord, You are always there.

You led me through the darkest times
and You restored my soul
You showed me that You took my sins
Your blood has made me whole ~
As a light in a world of darkness
You showed me a better way
To live my life for You, Jesus
today and every day!

You instil in me a sense of peace
immersed within Your Word
Though Your voice is still and quiet
to an open heart it's heard ~
I hear You in the little things
as You speak into my soul
Wrapping me in Your arms
of the love that's made me whole.

You are my strength and refuge
each day I wait on You
I draw on Your knowledge and wisdom
as You fill me with Your Truth ~
And when I feel I can't go on
You pour out Your love on me
For Your grace has saved this sinner
and your spirit's set me free.

Though I know that I'm not perfect
and I know I'll never be
Jesus, You paid the price for my sins
that day on Calvary ~
And all the time that I was lost
I was too blind to see
That I was worthy of Your love
and Your grace was good enough for me.

"I was only tapping around on the computer this afternoon when these words just came flowing out!  God so often speaks to me through my poetry, and he uses my poetry to speak to and reach out to others.
In our darkest times, when there seems like there is no one who understands ~ God does.   He is always there.  He is only waiting for us to call on Him.   God loves us all and we are ALL worthy of His love and Grace.   It took me a long time to learn, but I learnt that no matter what kind of life I've led or what things I've done, God loves me regardless with an unconditional love.    And His grace IS sufficient for me (2 Corinthians 12:9)!"
