My Perspective

I am what I am by the Saviour’s grace Such is scriptural truth my soul does claim Propped by redemption of compassion brace. Steadfastly running along Christian race My faith testifies along prayer flame I am what I am by the Saviour’s grace. Believing that the Lord forgives sin trace My heart seeks pardon to cleanse guilty shame Propped by redemption of compassion brace. Thankful for blessings filling empty space My spirit seeks to share abundance-fame I am what I am by the Saviour’s grace. Fulfilling roles in every assigned place My commitment stays fixed on divine frame Propped by redemption of compassion brace. Cheerfully glowing midst reaching-out pace My service and stewardship deeds exclaim I am what I am by the Saviour’s grace* Propped by redemption of compassion brace.
*1Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain… September 1, 2022 Edited on December 6, 2022
