It is hard to totally express what I feel about
God's grace.  The Love of God and how He
is and deals with His people is nothing short
of amazing!  As a new believe, He put up with
a lot from me.  I was totally ignorant of His 
ways and I am soooo thankful He wanted
me. 

God bless..

Grace to Surrender

When to the Lord your life you surrender
His blessings to you will come and abound
your cup running so full it spills over
upon you and begins to run down to the ground.

Then you say to yourself
why did I wait so long to surrender to this One so Great
for His blessings are more and Him I adore
I’m so glad that I wasn’t too late.

We sometimes serve half heartedly this precious Master 
with one foot in the world and the other one in His gate
don’t tarry very long I plead with you
for waiting could be too late.

Total surrender is nothing we can do
it must be done by His Spirit of love
when you call on His name and His work you proclaim
the Father will answer from Heaven above.

So then my brother and my sister on your knees come
then fall down upon your face
and ask His Spirit to fill you to overflowing
with surrendering love and of His precious grace.
