GRACE

GRACE

And is this the grace
that your were reansomed
to defend unrightesou spite

And is this the grace
that you were ransomed
evil words that you think hid from sight

And is this the grace
that you were ransomed
aligning yourself with hate

And is this the grace
that you were ransomed
at every opportunity your brother you berate

If I am your sister will you
prevent me from falling
If I stood before you today
would you be able to effect your calling

Can you say kind words passed over your lips
can you righteoulsy drink from this cup
the one from which your brother sips?

So is this the grace
that you were ransomed
the prayers you oft lift up?

or will deceiptively drink
and put blood upon my cup

for when you look around
are your closest allies mine?
or are those you hold so dear
the hateful hearts enshrined?

and when you lift your eyes
to heaven in utmost prayer
why is it then my own glory
you seek to share?

Fool that you are that ignored
your wayward friend
don't you know a time is coming
when all of this must end?

Grace,
I am not worthy of facing His Grace!
Still He does show me the way to look into it every single Day!
I am Bless with His Grace! Am I worthy?

such a true statement we have on the one hand "I am not fit to even untie his sandals" and then "wiping his feet with ones hair with incense and myrhh" etc...

worthy? I am worthy for the Lord loves me enough to send His son - though the grace undeserved... nice comments to reflect ED

no biggy
Ed 0h just a 3 hour trip turn around in the same day - more likely an over reaction on my part - just acted traumetised cause daughter had not left garage only clean abode of property throughout all this ordeal...and let's just say I was not impressed....and was in a weakened state of anxiety as it was....

+ was detoured from road works onto an unsafe narrow road but assure d me was tar - well you can still fall off the roadside given how narrow etc.....I could have take the trip down the other road had I known and spoilet my flying highway record as a result

so now have friends scolding me lovingly that I could have stayed with them ahd I let them know - but it was late, I was tired and upset and didn't really feel like putting that on someone else......though to be honest I should ave stayed with the old lady on the corner and just let her pamper me...lol

thank you for asking that is very kind of you giving me the time in this way. I certainly hope this finds you and yoru family all well

ok will explore that side of the screen....ahh there it is.....funny how you look but do not see...
