Grace Recipient
Lord, I acknowledge Your grace* with thanksgiving
Along Your favor for my faithful cleaving
Subduing my pride and self-sufficiency’s vain striving...
While instructing me to offer to You my very best with sincere loving.
Always enable me to sacrifice joyously, grateful for the blessings I’m receiving.
Lord, I regard Your grace for my salvation’s honor
Along Your assurance of service-power ardor
Challenging my doubts and shameful valor...
While upholding my faith that’s performing by Your might’s fervor.
Always encourage me to abide in Your Word midst worldliness’ clamor.
Lord, I seek Your grace midst my worshipful praise
Along Your mercy to uphold me in the Christian race
Guarding me from tempters with all the weapons of deceit they raise…
While protecting me around Your peace, devoid of anxiety’s trace.
Always empower me to rejoice in You, enclosed in Your divine embrace.
*Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
