Grace Is Power

The grace that comes in the heavenly spade Paid by the God of the great exchange Surpasses the cleansing of conscience and sin And reaches into the nature within. For we are gifted the power of God Who greatly and freely covered the cost, That we can house His nature and power That doesn't fade like a self-willed flower. This power and nature cuts off the source Of the rotting life birthed in our lust, Replaced by the power that now can be traced To the unforced tune and rhythms of grace. as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (II Peter 1:3, 4, 11 NKJV)
