Grace
Grace
“But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.” Rom 5:15 NKJV
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;
Any other love’s just makeshift.
We are all capable
Of receiving His grace
Should 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 sins forever 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.
