Thank God for Grace!

Thank God for Grace!

I want to bury my head into the Very Bosom of God!

Where life will no more pain me in my 'chains' of sin and sod!

My eyes grow dim from every tear that I have need to cry!

I see the faults I have within and all I ask, is why?

 

Living the 'Christian' life is never an easy thing!

I try to live in my own strength, instead of in Christ, my King!

Oh, Jesus, Lord and Savior, my failures cause me grief,

If only I could live, and rightly, would there be relief?

 

But Jesus! Hope comes in my soul whenever I think of this!

Though I am NOT a perfect man, I know my Savior IS!

And in my Jesus, thank You, God, through faith there is a Place!

For one like me, who wrestles sins, but Still is Saved By Grace!

About the Poet
I am 64, a born-again Christian, and didn't write until 1974. My mother inspired me to write poetry, from an early age since she developed a deep love for poetry in my life. However it took years before I tried to write. My favorite subject to write about is my Savior, Jesus Christ, and religious subjects. I reside in Cleveland, Ohio.
