Unmerited Grace

You move around the Earth with effortless grace

Your presence is felt like a cool summer breeze in our face.

Refreshing our souls from the burdens of life

Switching out our yoke telling us "here take mine"

"For my yoke easy and my burden is light."

Light to my path is your word when my path seems too dark to walk

When everything seems to be difficult, making me want to take flight

When prayers seems impossible because I can't even talk.

There you are

Not even an inch afar.

Sometimes in silence embracing me as you catch each one of my tears

Calming down each one of my fears

Shutting down the voice that's screaming inside of my head

Saying You can't do this, you're better off dead

There you are

Not even an inch afar

Letting me know it's going to be okay

To keep following you because you know the way

Yet I can't even seem to understand

How is that you want someone like me who seems to belong in wasteland?

Yet there you are

Not even an inch afar

Telling me I'm precious in your sight

Saying that in me you delight

Reminding me that it was for me that you paid the highest price

Gave up your life to save mine, an image so precise

And I realize this is something I just need to embrace

And that's God's Unmerited Grace.
