I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty.
~Edgar Allan Poe~

****
Source of all life you know my heart
You hear it singing as I write
Of how I long to do your will
And feel that satisfaction of your pleasure
Your Spirit whispers, your Word speaks and I make my choice
I choose you, I choose you
So I run full speed ahead to follow your voice
Expectation of joy, expectation of joy
Source of all love you know my heart
You hear it weeping as I write
You understand, you understand
That when I arrive at a place you call there
And unexpectedly find grief and despair
You are my Grace, you are my Grace
Almighty Agape, Everlasting Holiness
Incorruptible Righteousness, Undaunted Mercy
Faithful Intercessor, Graceful Redeemer
I thank you, I thank you
You are my Grace, you are my Grace
My Grace in the face of discouragement
My Grace in the face of pain
My Grace that teaches me how to breathe
When dreams turn to dust and the pain overwhelms
My Grace when your people disappoint
My Grace when I am just like them
My Grace to face what lies ahead
In the dark, where I cannot see
But you can, for you are Light
My Grace to respond to pat answers
My Grace to false accusations
My grace when I fail, My Grace when I prevail
My Grace to climb these mountains
Be they in life, or in my soul
You are my Grace, You are sufficient
You are my Grace, You are sufficient
I will come forth
Either walking or standing, Or you carrying me
I will come forth
For YOU are my Grace
