My Saving Grace - January 7, 2004

You’ve breathed life into me.

You’ve forgiven me for sins not yet committed.

For every problem in my life You’ve become my purpose.       Long before I was formed in my mother’s womb,

You knew what my life was meant for.

And even know I’ve often turned from Your ways, when I returned,

when I returned to those ways,

You’ve welcomed me back with open arms.

When I was alone in the darkness,

You showed me back into the light.

And now I’ve given You everything.

All of my ambitions, all of

My hopes and plans,  

they have become Your’s as I

Long to be close to You and

Do only Your will, oh Lord.
