God's Saving Grace: a New Day, a New Way

leave your gripes, leave your grudges 
and leave your bitterness at the Lord's table
and then take away God's Saving Grace 
for it is sufficient and able
to go from bitter to better
just take away the "I"
for it's not about you
but about the Kingdom up on high

Jesus said to deny your self 
and then take up the cross
let  go of your selfish wants and desires
it won't be a great loss
to be willing to soothe the bruises 
and the wounds you carry deep inside
to be willing to mend the brokenness 
and by His word live and abide

to find your joy in the Lord
to be thankful and to Him always pray
for with God's Saving Grace
there will always be a new way and a new day
