Grace Hovers

Grace hovering over the deep waters

sees

what it was meant to see

amid the swirl of others

some floating

some sinking

 grace bends down

to get a closer look

it zeroes in

 ~yes~

that is the one I want

 grace lifts it out of the murky deep

pats it dry

and breathes new life

{astounded and amazed at why

God reached down to lowly me

to lift me out of the murky waters of sin

and proclaim everlasting freedom}

Grace, grace, God’s grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;

Grace, grace, God’s grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,

Threaten the soul with infinite loss;

Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,

Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.

Grace, grace, God’s grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;

Grace, grace, God’s grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.
