A Tapestry of Grace

This life I live, I live by faith in You, Not I,but Christ who dwells within, makes new. A vessel shaped by the Potter’s skilled hand, A fragile jar of clay upon this land. (Galatians 2:20, Jeremiah 18:6, 2 Corinthians 4:7)

The path is narrow, sometimes steep and dim, My light,a flicker, hinges straight on Him. Your Word,a lamp unto my stumbling feet, Your Spirit whispers,making truth complete. (Matthew 7:14, Psalm 119:105, John 16:13)

When weakness claims me, and my spirit fails, Your promise stands:when faint, Your strength prevails. In valleys shadowed,I will fear no ill, For You are with me;Your rod comforts still. (2 Corinthians 12:9, Psalm 23:4)

I strive to love, though love is not my own, To see the image of Your Son alone. In every face,the lost, the least, the small, To serve the King of Kings by serving all. (1 John 4:19, Matthew 25:40)

And when I stumble, caught in pride or fear, Your voice of mercy is the one I hear. You lift my head,remind me I’m restored, Forgiven,righteous, cherished by my Lord. (1 John 1:9, Romans 8:1)

So let my days be one long, breathing prayer, A fragrant incense rising in the air. Not my will,Father, but let Yours be done, Until my race is fought,my victory won. (1 Thessalonians 5:17, Philippians 4:18, Luke 22:42, 2 Timothy 4:7)

And on that day, when faith gives way to sight, I’ll see the source of all this borrowed light. And every thread of joy and pain will be A part of Your great tapestry for me. (1 Corinthians 13:12)
