Grace Unfolds

God’s love, a boundless sea, awaits the weary heart, 
Where broken souls find solace, and healing’s gentle start. 
Despite our wandering steps, our unfaithfulness and strife, 
He responds with grace abundant, the wellspring of new life.



In shadows deep, where guilt resides, A heart awakens, humbled, tried. It bows before the throne of grace, Seeking mercy in that sacred space. True repentance blooms like dawn, Acknowledging the stains we’ve drawn. God’s love, a balm for wounded souls, Restores our joy, makes broken whole.

His Spirit whispers through our tears, Guiding steps, dispelling fears. Reconciliation’s sweet refrain, Bridges gaps, heals every pain. Hope unfurls within His grace, A refuge strong in life’s wild chase. No need to hide, no mask to wear, For God’s forgiveness waits us there.

His desire? To mend the fractures, love’s tapestry restore, To whisper hope to wounded hearts, to heal and to adore. True repentance blooms like flowers after rain, Turning from our wrongs, we find forgiveness’ sweet refrain. So let us trust His mercy, lean on grace’s wings unfurled, For God’s love and restoration embrace the contrite world. In brokenness, we find wholeness; in surrender, we are free, For His grace is our refuge, and His love our sanctuary.

Yet this repentance isn’t ours alone, Its ripples touch hearts far from our own. We share His grace, extend our hand, To lead others toward that promised land. So let our lives reflect this truth, A heart repentant, renewed, uncouth. In God’s embrace, we find our song, And echo grace where shadows throng.

In trials and tribulations, we stand, Our faithfulness unwavering, hand in hand. Persecution may come, but we remain strong, Guided by God’s presence, where we belong. Discernment shapes our every choice, Purity in our interactions, our voice. Trusting the Lord, fear dissipates, Perseverance our path to eternal gates. For love, we boldly raise our voice, In challenges, we find our purpose, our choice. Faithful hearts, unwavering and true, God’s love sustains us, forever anew.

Not mere ritual sacrifices, but words from depths within, Our worship, like incense rising, a fragrant offering. Authentic devotion, heartfelt and sincere, In whispered prayers and praises, God’s presence draws us near.
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.
