The Me By the Grace of God
I am what I am by the grace of God*
My being bears His tripartite essence
With body, soul and spirit for His nod
To please Him midst faith in pretense absence.
I am me, yielded to Christ’s supreme plan
Carrying genes from loving Dad and Mom
Molded by family of gracious clan
Fulfilling life-building role so awesome.
I am the Lord’s adopted child who’s blest
Called as His servant for glad reaching-out
Forgiven to share peaceful freedom zest
Compassion-marked, vanquishing selfish pout.
I am grateful to my Saviour indeed
Granting divine nature for virtues’ breed.
*1Corinthians 15:10 …By the grace of God I am what I am…
