Your grace will be my song

Well, been a bit too busy and focussed for much creativity lately; but sometimes when it's hard to express the complexity of what's going on & what I'm learning (so much!) from God in this daily adventure, the only way is to try and rhyme it. (Try being the operative word!) This was actually inspired by the passage in 1 Peter 1 that the speaker referred to on Sunday. I can't remember the sermon (!) but this passage really spoke to me; I felt it summarised where I'm at.

Your love set me free
From burdens that stayed
The weight of years
Lifted away.

Every challenge
Rejection that comes
You lead my response;
A better one.

I'm seeking your face
Lord, I cannot see
Yet your kindly gaze
Is holding me.


You're guiding me
All day long
Your grace is my song

You're leading my worship
To soak in your love;
To gain from your choice
When you took my place.

I'm still rejoicing
Though grief unallayed -
More potent become
My joy & my praise.

A living hope
You are my shield
All day long
Your grace will be my song

(1 Peter 1)
