Grace Is Power
The grace that comes in the heavenly spade
Paid by the God of the great exchange
Surpasses the cleansing of conscience and sin
And reaches into the nature within.
For we are gifted the power of God
Who greatly and freely covered the cost,
That we can house His nature and power
That doesn't fade like a self-willed flower.
This power and nature cuts off the source
Of the rotting life birthed in our lust,
Replaced by the power that now can be traced
To the unforced tune and rhythms of grace.
as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the
knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us
exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the
divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. for so an
entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. (II Peter 1:3, 4, 11 NKJV)
