Grace Life

 

As the waves do not cease to refresh the seashore

So Your grace endlessly washes over me

Lay back on pillows of sand 

Look at the sky

Out of myself

And know

It will be ok

I can live freely

My God is my Father and Teacher

He will provide all that I need

I will not be left wanting

The seed breaks open

A new sprout emerges

Faith flickers

To meet the sunshine and rain

It takes faith to open my hands 

I'm ready to surrender

To walk into the joyful surf

Unencumbered

In the past, I've chastised you

For not filling

Hands that were already full

Of your blessings

And clasped too 

Around trinkets

I did not want to let go of

Cheap,

But I thought them valuable

And You waited

You will not pry open my hands

So you can fit true blessings in

You wait; You let us choose the path of faith 

And I chastised You

For withholding

May I learn to let go

May I learn to let go

May I learn to let go

From my good and patient Teacher

As I inhale, exhale; constant

Open my hands; now marked with faith

Receive back treasure; eternal

An ongoing, daily choir of choices

Until I am floating in a vast and beautiful sea

Held in uncrackable peace

By Living Waters
