Grace
Grace is what we don’t deserve
Due to the mercy of our Father
As He knows our condition
He’s rubbed shoulders with our brothers
Grace is the covering
Of His righteousness so white
It covers our sinfulness
In our unenviable worldly plight
Although we don’t deserve it
God gives us this gift
Because He loves us dearly
Like the gold miner, He does sift
To find a few souls worthy
Of receiving His grace
Because we shun the world
And accept His warm embrace
Grace and faith are partners
One gift goes with the other
Two gifts in one package
Our mortal sins to cover
Without God’s gifts of grace and faith
We never would be found—
In the Book of Life
Except God’s love abounds.
