To Live, Love, And Laugh

I take the Mercy and Grace God bestowed in me,
and now I pass it out, to  others you see.
 With His forgiveness and his saving Grace,
I was redeemed from my darkened place.
 With a love greater than yours or mine,
through the refiners fire, a darkened heart refined.
 Oh the love He has, just for you and me,
with that love, through us, he sets His children free.
 We are to be the visible, side of God, here as we live,
those who need love, forgiveness, and understanding, to them we are to give.
 For as He is, so are we in this world, you see,
the visible side of God, we are suppose to be.
 Freely giving out, what God has done inside,
with love, understanding, as in the truth we abide.
 Like sheep, we are led to the slaughter each day,
as we walk in Gods love, overcoming the evil way.
 It’s hard to love and to forgive, with every breath we take,
it’s even harder, when we live a life thats fake.
 To live, to love, to laugh, we all desire these things,
but to behold the beauty there of, you must overcome its stings.
 We are all creatures of habit, this we know is true,
and from the hearts of all children, their father does show through.
