By Grace
Except the grace by which I'm saved
Jesus,
Make my life a real prayer to you,
As I'm crawling, begging, pleading & passing through...
Perhaps, we in our society have bit off?
Far more then we can actually chew;
Yet who knew in full view/
A parade filled with wasps falter to fly on through nor to stick like glue;
No questions anymore just to settle for what is new/
~
We have been sliding back into an evil abyss with sin;
Shattered dreams in its timeless appease/
We then choose to water down your saving message/
Except the grace by which I'm saved,
~
In your Holy word you cause such a heavy tidal wave so behave...!
Yet you have given mankind free will some cheap thrill,
Instead many just settle for the lie that claims I am what I do;
In place of lobster brisque they end with burger on fry/
~
That is no lie!
Again through hearts that are very closed to cause harm sound the alarm!
Today more then ever we need to face the music & sound the alarm;
In pulsating textual fervor just don't ever call me late for dinner,
The vibe can go further,
With faith as a child one can get a little wild;
~
Except the grace by which I'm saved!
