My God, Thank You For Showing Me Your Grace

April 11 Scripture Meditations Based on Ezra 9-10 Key Verse – Ezra 9:8 And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME YOUR GRACE Thank You for showing me Your grace midst sin’s bondage As You forgive me along my confession’s courage So that I can be revived from guiltiness’ damage Ever sanctified by Your pardoning gauge. Thank You for showing me Your grace midst iniquity’s captivity As You deliver me along my repentance-sincerity So that I can be cleansed from dishonesty Ever purged by Your transforming purity. Thank You for showing me Your grace midst deception’s confusion As You enlighten me along my truth-seeking action So that I can be illumined from evil’s corruption Ever guided by Your wise direction. Thank You for showing me Your grace midst trespasses’ heaviness As You help me along my admitted weakness So that I can be guarded from wickedness’ filthiness Ever kept by Your empowering faithfulness. Thank You for showing me Your grace midst transgressions’ entrapment As You free me along my escape-struggles’ predicament So that I can be liberated from worldliness’ involvement Ever led by Your heavenly discernment. Thank You for showing me Your grace midst pride’s insistence As You humble me along my abased existence So that I can be chastised from hypocrisy’s pretense Ever disciplined by Your loving holiness-persistence.
