ALL WE HAVE IS GRACE

ALL WE HAVE IS GRACE

All we have is grace,
the gracious creativity of the One who dreamed us up
and got it all going,
the gracious compassion which journeys with us even when we
leave the path and go off exploring the swamps and by-ways,
the gracious love which forever stands waiting to restore us,
the gracious sympathy which suffers with us in our suffering,
which is distressed in our distress,
the gracious power of new life which welcomes us into each new
stage and shows us unimagined vistas and possibilities.
God of grace,
gracious One
creator, redeemer, sanctifier,
I stand in awe of you,
I love you
I pray for grace to love you more.
