Oh grace.

Let the light shine
until our eyes are blinded by the light.
Let your mercy fall,
our hearts bursting with love.
and grace,
grace for you, grace for me,
grace for us all,
grace, shouted and sung
till our voices can scarcely speak
caught in awestruck
wonder.
Oh, if we could be
completely overwhelmed
from every shortcoming,
from every pain

and every shame
for all this is covered by

grace
mercy and love.

For we battle with our flaws,

our weaknesses betray us
we struggle with the light
constantly shaking ourselves free,
to rise above lives
that often feel out of control
and reckless.
What a mystery is this,
the promise of freedom
to the chains and shackles.
Grace wrestles with us all.
with our hearts and voices.
our tomorrows shaped
by what we cannot understand
or fully grasp.
Grace.
