Abide in Grace

In the quiet of dawn, when shadows retreat, 
I find solace in the whispers of grace. 
For Jesus, the Vine, calls us to abide, 
A lifelong choice, not a fleeting embrace.

His love, like a river, flows ceaselessly, 
Persistent and unwavering, day by day. 
Just as an alcoholic seeks sobriety, 
We seek His presence, our strength and stay.

The world tempts us with fleeting pleasures, 
But our faith rests in Jesus alone. 
He holds the keys to eternal life, 
A refuge where weary souls find their home.

So let us abide, rooted in His truth, 
Nourished by His Word, our hearts aligned. 
For in Christ, we discover life abundant, 
And eternity’s promise—the grand design.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
