Grace is Enough

Jim Newton-Smith asked me to post this, following the meeting last Sunday:

—————

Grace is enough
What is this love
That discharges death
And redeems my life
That covers all my efforts
My works and self righteousness

Grace is enough
To take me to a higher place
When I am ragged and poor
And my strength deserts me
It will clothe me with garments
Woven with gold and silver

Grace is enough
To heal my diseases
And take away my iniquity
To help me understand
That He knows my name
And the nature of His love

Grace is enough
When things don’t work out
According to my expectations
When things are taken away
By the cruelty of life
For He knows the end from the beginning

Grace is enough
To provide hope to my aching heart
And enable life to be lived
In the realty of His great love
It provides access to the beat of His heart
And an energy to relieve the spirit and soul

Grace is enough.
A river that will never run dry
A place of deep pools
With mysterious depths
And refreshing cool waters
Dangerous yet secure

Grace is enough

For He is the source

Grace gathers
It does not disperse
Grace covers
It does not expose
Grace carries
Not pushes away
Grace brings home
Rather than saying goodbye
Grace brings acceptance
Not rejecting what or who I am
Grace is enough.
