Grace and Solitude In God's Presence
Celestial rays indeed blaze midst eternal grace*…
Oh, they brace my vital days along spiritual life’s race
bringing revival sways during faith-filled upheaval praise
while against trial, my soul prays, devoid of denial-trace.
Around Christ’s fellowship light glows my worship delight…
His leadership-height guides toward stewardship flight;
glad friendship tight props prayer partnership plight
since workmanship might fights sin-flagship blight.
Through God’s victorious hand, I pursue glorious promised land
learning from His gracious command, being precious as He’s planned…
since He paid redemption’s injurious demand; furious death He did withstand
my faith with biblical conscious stand declares His love midst anxious band.
With gratitude’s zest, I seek God for solitude’s best…
upon trust-fortitude’s crest … within His beatitudes, blest
nestling in divine certitude’s breast toward servitude’s quest
in facing attitude’s test against pandemic latitude’s pest.
*Philippians 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
