Grace and Mercy


CHORUS:
Grace keeps giving me things I don't deserve
Mercy keeps withholding things I do
Words that seldom fail me
Leave me looking for the words
To express my gratitude

This list keeps getting longer
More than I can count
I thought I could get close to more deserving
Unworthy on my best day
unworthy at my worst
To receive this blessing that You give me freely

CHORUS

You must have Your reason
You must have a plan
You must see some treasure here I'm missing
If I could see myself through Your eyes
It would be easier to breathe
And display Your loving-kindness
to the world around me
*******************************************
Wow, I need to be more like God. I'm really terrible at it lately. Offering grace and mercy has not been apart of me the past two days. Loving people at the core because that is how God intended. I don't always like the path taken, but perhaps they need to have their own ups and downs. I believed that God allows us to have our own. I just need to pray that I to can learn to love with grace and mercy to others when I want to retaliate.
