I came across this excellent poem by Gerard Kelly in his book Stretch today, thought I would share it as it has the power by Gods spirit to help us have an elastic faith! A faith that is stretched by the trials life but one that is never broken as we place our trust in Him, the good good father.
This grace we have been given is enough.
When the mountains set before us
Won’t move by faith
Until by faith we start to climb.
It is enough.
When our cry for heavens miracles
Rings hollow, like a doorbell
Howling through an empty house.
It is enough.
When from the waiting rooms of weakness
We say yes
To pressing on,
It is enough.
When we have reached the end of our energies,
And face the end of ourselves,
But can’t yet see the end of our task,
It is enough
Enough
To know that you have loved us.
Enough.
That we were called before all time.
Enough.
That every fingerprint is valued.
Enough.
That you remember every name.
So we will embrace this grace.
And turn our hearts to face grace.
Loosening the locks
On our personnel space,
We’ll make each home a place of grace.
We’ll drink from your wells
‘till we’re wasted on grace;
We’ll speak out your words
‘till our tongues taste of grace.
And we’ll live to love your laws
Until our lives are laced with grace.
Down dark and dingy alleys
We will chase grace.
We will hold as something precious
Every trace of grace.
We will celebrate and consecrate this grace,
Because this grace we have been given,
Is enough.
You may
find this song helpful by hillsong, your grace is enough…
