FOREVER GRATEFUL
You and I live today,
Because God allowed our birth.
Our needs in life are daily
met
Through His provision here
on Earth.
God created the dimension of
time
and placed us within it to
live;
But from the time He’s given
to us,
Many times we fail to give.
Engulfed in our own little
world,
We fail to seek His face;
So often abusing His mercy,
Without gratitude for His grace.
By His grace we receive salvation,
A gift we don’t deserve,
Then quickly forget the power
Of this God we claim to serve.
With one breath He could dry
up the sea;
Blow away the desert sand;
He could wipe away the shining
stars
With a waive of His mighty
hand.
He could level the highest
mountains,
Divide the face of the Earth;
And erase the history of every
man,
Removing all signs of birth.
All this He could do in judgment,
With no sin charged to His
name;
For It’s impossible for Him
to sin,
Yet for us, sin He became.
For His grace we should ever
be grateful,
Serving Him with all our heart;
Praising Him for the eternal
inheritance
Which to us He did impart.
He
made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf,
that
we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
And
working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive
the
grace of God in vain -- for He says, "At the acceptable time I
listened
to you, and on the day of salvation I helped you."
