GRACE

It’s where effortless beauty and charm

Along with being refined,

Contains pleasing characteristics

That are graciously defined.

It’s where unmerited assistance

From a nature purely divine,

Offers regeneration and sanctification

When the soul with God is aligned.

God’s grace is benevolent

Combined with love and mercy;

He truly loves the unlovely

And to the restless soul peace He’ll give.

He delivers us from enemies

From all afflictions and adversities,

As His favor is compassionate

When our enemies His hand can see.

His common grace is accessible

To each and every one,

Since acts of kindness, love and goodwill

Can be displayed by everyone.

But God’s grace is a gift

And on merit is never based,

Since our good works can never qualify

And all efforts without Christ are abased.

God’s grace is favor towards man

And is precious and so priceless;

It stems into the forevermore

And our soul it gives true rest.

God’s grace is found through Jesus Christ

Who was tormented for our sins;

To pay a debt only He could pay

To save our soul within.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Ephesians 1:7

“But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.” Ephesians 4:7
