Bestowed With Grace-Bounty
Bestowed am I with grace-extravagance
As God’s child, loved upon merciful might
Beautified by holiness’ elegance
Secured in His compassion day and night
To march forward along service-delight.
With bountiful wondrous blessings to share
I pray, “Lord, my heart, please faithfully grant
Joy in giving and willingness to care;
Vanquish selfishness, vainly arrogant
Please make me generously triumphant.”
Endowed greatly with heavenly riches*
I’m assured with eternal life’s bounty
Midst pursuits for stewardship-outreaches
Optimizing each opportunity
For diligent Gospel preaching’s duty.
Braced by sovereign power’s engagement
Grateful am I for divine fulfillment.
*Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
