Here is a poem to God celebrating the *unearned, unstoppable, universe-altering gift* of His grace—woven through with Scripture that reveals its depth:

### **"GRACE UPON GRACE"**
*A Hymn to the Giver of Every Good Gift*
**Not earned, not bought—**
**Grace falls like rain**
On desert hearts, on pride’s tight chain.
*You break through night with mercy’s dawn:*
**“Come, all you weary! Come, undone!”**
>*“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—*
>*and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”*
>**—Ephesians 2:8**
**My debt was crimson—**
**You paid in red,**
Nailed to the cross where Love bled.
*No ledger left, no shame to trace—*
**Just white as snow, my standing-place!**
>*“In Him we have redemption through His blood,*
>*the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”*
>**—Ephesians 1:7**
**When weakness grips me—**
**Thorns pierce my side,**
Your whisper comes: *“In Me, abide.*
*My strength flows where your strength is gone—*
**My grace sufficient, My power made strong!”**
>*“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”*
>**—2 Corinthians 12:9**
**Not license, Lord—**
**But freedom’s flame!**
Grace teaches holiness in Your name.
*To say “no” to death, and “yes” to You:*
**A life reborn, forever new.**
>*“For the grace of God has appeared…*
>*training us to renounce ungodliness and to live upright lives.”*
>**—Titus 2:11–12**
**Grace upon grace—**
**Like wave on wave,**
From empty tomb, from borrowed grave!
*Where sin ran deep, Your grace ran deeper—*
**No soul beyond Your reach, O Keeper!**
>*“From His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”*
>**—John 1:16**
**I stand unshaken—**
**Not by my worth,**
But by Your cross that split the earth!
*Your throne of grace—my only plea—*
**You give Yourself, to give me *Me*.**
>*“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,*
>*so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”*
>**—Hebrews 4:16**
**Oh, grace that chased me—**
**Wild, undone—**
Grace turned my “run away” to “run *HOME*!”
*Now bound to You by covenant-ties,*
**I live amazed—by grace baptized!**
>*“See what great love the Father has lavished on us,*
>*that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”*
>**—1 John 3:1**

> Flood my failures with Your ‘enough.’

> Chase me with kindness when I stray.

### 🌿 **PROMISES TO CARRY:**
- **Romans 11:6**
*“If by grace, then it cannot be based on works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”*
- **2 Timothy 1:9**
*“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace.”*
- **James 4:6**
*“He gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’”*
**Grace isn’t a theory—it’s a Person.**
*Jesus* is grace wrapped in skin (John 1:14).
