The Grace in Which I Stand

I know that this is Poem Sunday.  I have written, but still editing a poem for Easter Sunday; but, I wanted to share today one I wrote before.  Yet, on this palm Sunday I also wanted to tell all of you to go to hear Keith Simon’s Sermon which is probably one of the best sermons I have heard.  So please go and watch

Jesus Is The King No One Recognized  the sermon by Keith Simon at the The Crossing Church.  I hope you are inspired, uplifted, and desire Jesus the King as Lord of Your Life.

The Grace in Which I Stand

 

Oh feeble heart, Oh fragile soul

Where is the hope on which you hold

With all the failures of your past

Where is the faith to make you bold

Where is the faith to make you bold

 

There was a King though blameless He

That came to pay my penalty

And in that act He set me free

To follow Him in liberty

To follow Him in liberty

 

It is His love that drew me out

And in His Grace I shall not doubt

That He who started this work in me

Will finish it with a Glorious Shout

Will finish it with a Glorious Shout

 

One day the finished work be done

That I might look then like God’s son

Sifted, shined just like pure Gold

As Glory shines forth, Glorious One

As Glory shines forth, Glorious One

 

And in this hope my faith conformed

I know my life will be transformed

I stand upon this future grace

So for His work my passion warmed

So for His work my passion warmed

 

So in this faith I firmly stand

That formed in me as God had planned

No force on earth can shake me free

My future held by God’s great hand

My future held by God’s great hand.
