A Moment of Grace

A MOMENT OF GRACE

In a moment of grace

He opened my eyes

To the depth of my need

To my insecure pride.

Revealed my weakness

The strength of man.

How frail a hope

Upon I stand.

The pain of seeing me

For what I am:

Hopelessly broken

Clinging to man.

Approval ever wanting

Unfulfilled inside

Needing strength

Man can’t provide.

The hand of God

Grabbed hold of me

Touching the core

Of insecurity.

Pulling me up

From the pit of fear

He beckoned my heart

To draw near.

How pleasant His appeal

To my soul.

The closer I come

The more I am whole.

A new longing awakened,

To sit at His feet.

The bread of life

I hunger to eat.

Strength and nourishment

To body and soul.

Your word to my heart

Is a burning coal.

Fire of Your Spirit

Come rest upon me.

In Your presence

I long to be.

Now the plea I bring before You,

The cry of my heart.

Is to be with You

And not to part.

To hold tightly

To Your hand

Each day to grow

And with You stand.

Consistently coming

Before Your throne

And not to loose

What I have known.

Come Lord

Live in me

Always be

My security.
