In Praise To The Giver (04. 19. 12)


I usually write prose these days- and LOVE it. But sometimes poetry still just overflows. It used to be a thing, haha. Just decided to post this on a whim because I'm feeling it again tonight. He is faithful! May mercy overwhelm us as it pours from His heart.

Your grace has done me in.
How can I live for myself any longer,
when Your faithfulness flies in the face of all I've been?
How can You love me even as I pursue all that You've rescued me from, 
even as I'm still in love with my sin?

But seeing all You've done, 
I only want You more.
Where condemnation stood, mercy's breaking down my door.

Oh,You never let me go! 
Your grace, it falls like rain, 
Slowly, but surely I am changed
In the downpour of Your love.

Though I am faithless, You are faithful
Your heart is ever true.
Though I constantly forsake You, 
Still You shower mercies new.
Though I can't ever repay You, 
Though I take my life in my hands,
Still You keep all Your promises and You're faithful to Your plans!

Oh,You never let me go! 
Your grace, it falls like rain, 
Slowly, but surely I am changed
In the downpour of Your love.

As Your mercy reaches my heart 
You're making ever new, 
I'm overwhelmed by all You've done,
All You've brought me through.
You've paid the whole price needed
So I stand blameless in Your name,
Jesus, Your ways are infallible,
Your glory never fades!
