By Your Good Grace

By your good grace,

I live the life that others dream

but may never realize

through solemn servitude. 

By your good grace,

I see the world

in all her splendor

from the other side of the window.

By your good grace,

I write hymns of love

as the voice of broken spirits.

By your good grace,

I walk the cliffs 

and drink the vast horizon

where sea meets sand.

By your good grace,

my eyes have opened

to see small things 

that went unnoticed.

By your good grace,

I know why things 

appear like magic

just when we need them.

By your good grace,

I can do what I must

because you give

more than you take.

By your good grace,

I can see the path 

that brought me to you

was the right one all along.
