GRACE - hold it fast!

 

On you, through grace, good seed was cast - 

So hold it fast!


Grace covered all your sinful past -

So hold it fast!


Nail grace as standard to your mast

And hold it fast!


God's grace will lead you home at last -

So hold it fast!

Continuing GRACE

        I

From eternity 

God’s mind was that His grace should 

Be operative.


        II

When I had nothing 

To pay grace told me that I 

Had nothing to pay.


        III

Nothing can alter 

The purpose of God; nothing 

Can restrict His grace.


        IV

I love the Father 

Who is revealed in that name, 

A title of grace.


PREMATURE EPITAPH!

Here lies David Brown, 

Beneficiary of grace: 

One whom Jesus loves.

GRACE (again and again!)

 

Grace sometimes was the sunshine

Embracing with warmth.


Grace sometimes was the rainfall

Driving me homeward.


Grace sometimes was the rainbow

Spectral with promise.


Sometimes grace as a shepherd

Led me to green pastures.


But grace sometimes was a judge

Admonishing me.


And often grace was a nurse

With pills or pillows.


Grace always was a witness

To the heart of God.

[2013]

GRACE (YET AGAIN)


Here His grace
Is complete:
On my face
At His feet.
