Overwhelming Grace

Your grace is overwhelming as it washes
Over me, cleansing away ugly stains
It cleans more than the surface as it washes
Dramatically flushing away all my inside stains.

I've been knocked down flat on my face,
Turned upside down, will I ever rise?
No chance for me to quicken the pace
I wait for my demise.

Days went by slowly, I regained my sense,
Began to cling to a slim thread of hope.
Pushed ahead resistance was dense
I could see the light that was my hope.

Living life does not always seem fair
So much to it, it's easy to lose our way
We stand alone and stare
Too many options, how can we find the way?

Created with just one purpose in mind
Trying to hide from it, lost is all you will know.
Yer right before you, so easy to find
Let your heart go your spirit will know.

Your grace is precious it sustains, renews
As I walk, Love marks my path.
Its power is great, my heart renews
As we walk together along your path.
