Litany of Grace

In the rushing, breathless moments,

always going, never slowing

Your grace over me, O Lord

When the tiny precious human

Drains patience to the last drop

Your grace over me, O Lord

When I fall again, in besetting sin

Your grace over me, O Lord

When words from another

Make me question my worth

Your grace over me, O Lord

When earthquakes of doubt

crumble the ground beneath my feet

Questioning, am I truly saved?

Your grace over me, O Lord

When I’m not enough

So frustratingly, never enough

Your grace over me, O Lord

In my striving for perfection,

My works before faith

Your grace over me, O Lord

When the fears come curling,

Hissing lies, black and cold

Your grace over me, O Lord

When the house aches empty,

whispering shadows

Of the one no longer there

Your grace over me, O Lord

When grief like a blanket, wet & cold

Settles heavy on my shoulders

This desperate homesick for heaven

Your grace over me, O Lord

In circumstances looming impossible

Weary and heavy laden, I cry

Your grace over me, O Lord

For your grace is sufficient, made perfect

My weakness, enveloped in your strength

Your grace has brought me safe this far,

And oh what joy to know

Your grace, it will lead me home.
