Grace

Wrapped up in Grace

See now how My grace covers you?
See how I speak to the deep things
and with My breath they come to life?
See how My light burns through the shadows that shackle you,
so that by My grace too honest to let you tuck in to yourself
I reach out to you with My peace and truth and breathe light?

Wrapped up in My grace and set free
Secure and unbound
Together, at once, always

Stand firm then, My child, My kin,
because My grace is sufficient for you.
Stand firm then, My child, My kin,
because My kingdom comes, it runs
at you with arms wide and a feast in the making,
not because you have earned it, child, but because I love you
and through My grace you can dare to trust My love.

Wrapped up in My grace and set free
Secure and unbound
Together, at once, always

Oh My grace is not content in complacency.
It is too honest, too clear to let you sit in stagnant water
so it will nudge you and encourage you to step into the current.
And My grace is too honest, too clear to force you to move,
but Holy Spirit grace prays for you, hopes in you, speaks, “Come.”
Speaks, “Dwell in My covering and go with, in, and through Me. Go.”

By grace – love one another.
By grace – pray for your enemies.
By grace – stand firm in My peace.
By grace – be a people of peace who eat of the Word of Life
and actively serve those in need.

Wrapped up in My grace and set free
Secure and unbound
​Together, at once, always
