Living Within His Grace

All the world’s piling up on me,

I’m losing the rat race.

I run as fast as I can run,

But I can’t keep the pace.

The thoughts I shouldn’t think still come,

Some are a great disgrace;

Some of defeat, some of disdain,

Some, my soul debase.

I say and do so many things

I wish I could erase.

I’m far from good, try as I may,

I’m just a hopeless case.

But broken as my life may be,

With pieces out of place,

I know that I can still be whole

Living within his grace.

Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
