Grace

My heart is so proud
My mind is so unfocused
I see the things you do through me
as great things I have done
And now you gently break me
then lovingly to take me
and hold me as my Father
and mold me as my maker.

I ask you how many times will you pick me up
When I keep on letting you down?
And Each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound?
And you answer "My child, I love You
and as long as you're seeking my face
You'll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace".

At times I may grow weak
and feel a bit discouraged
knowing that someone somewhere can do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?
I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart
And keeps me hanging on.

As I walk with You I'm learning
what your grace really means
The price that I could never pay
was paid at Calvary.
So instead of trying to repay you
I'm learning to simply obey you
By giving up my life to you
for all that you've given to me!

I ask you how many times will you pick me up
When I keep on letting you down?
And Each time I will fall short of Your glory
How far will forgiveness abound?
And you answer "My child, I love You
and as long as you're seeking my face
You'll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace".

Finally We're off to see Mercy Me! Oh MY!

We leave in the morning for our trip to Knoxville to meet Mercy Me. I'm nervous because I found out we are on a small plane. Gulp! I'm not a fan of flying. I would rather just walk! But, I know that God is in control. He knew my beginning and He knows my end. Sandy is going with me and I am so glad for that! She is such a huge blessing to me and I love her dearly. I know we are going to have a blast. Please pray for us for safe travel and good times. Love you all!
