Living by the Grace of God

Lord

keep me living

through deep sorrows and steep joys

My human life is filled with days of darkness

days of songs.

What’s the purpose? What’s the reason for all this?

Lord

it’s only by Your grace

by the grace of God I’ll live.

Keep me living by the grace of God

Make this a reality

Christ living in me.

Keep me living by the grace of God

For the reality

of the Body of Christ.

Lord

Your grace

is flowing from the throne

Not material gifts

nor blessings

but the processed Triune God.

God the Father’s boundless riches

God the Son an endless spring

God the Spirit’s ceaseless flowing thus the Triune God to bring.

Keep me living by the grace of God

Make this a reality

Christ living in me.

Keep me living by the grace of God

For the reality

of the Body of Christ.

Lord

Your Body

must become reality

Through every member functioning to build up Your Body.

So defeat us

and subdue us

open vessels

Lord we pray

As stewards of the grace of God

Lord build us up today.

Keep us living by the grace of God

Make this a reality

Christ living in us.

Keep us living by the grace of God

For the reality

of the Body of Christ.
