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!
Welcome. These are some of the attempts at verse that I have made over the years. I trust that they are to the glory of the Lord Jesus - and that putting them here is to His glory too. I have now posted most that I have written at least once but continue in case a new audience finds new blessing. Occasionally I throw in some other verse. Comment are welcome.

So hold it fast!

And hold it fast!

So hold it fast!
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 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.
