I live only through the Grace
That allows me to come before the throne of God.
Not only is it by Grace that I am saved,
But it through that same Grace
That I am called back when I fall away.
It is nothing that I have done on my own
That I have received this Grace,
Therefore, how can I do anything
To cause this Grace to fall short of me.
It is I who cause my own heart to break
It is I call upon Grace, rather than live by it.
I am torn for the fact that my desires remain;
More am I torn that I succumb to them.
Over this,
More do I weep because of God's love.
I proclaim that I do not understand the Grace shown me;
I must therefore proclaim that
I do not understand this same Grace that calls me back
...time and time again.
For I am not like the prodigal son
Who went away but once and then returned.
NO! I have fallen away countless times.
Yet, God gives me what I do not deserve - Grace.
I do not understand Grace, but I know that it is how I am saved.
I know that I have Grace, therefore, how can I sin?
...and this is where Grace has its greatest power;
and I will never fully understand.
