I always loved the thought,
of eternal grace . . .
in my mind forgiveness
I was able to embrace.
I knew of God’s mercy,
heard about His wrath
in my mind I could see
the straight, narrow path.
I knew of His Spirit,
the gifts He bestowed
in my mind I’d could see
from where they flowed.
I knew I was hopeless,
as I listened to the Word
in my mind I envisioned
every truth that I heard.
I knew I was a sinner,
I thought I was saved
but, still to the world . . .
I knew I was enslaved.
I always loved the thought,
of embracing grace . . .
but now in my heart and soul
it too has a place!
~~~~~~~~~~
“And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind;
