Grace and Mercy: A Divine Embrace #1636

Grace and Mercy: A Divine Embrace Just as a mother raises her child, with tender care, So does God raise us through grace, always there. In the arms of love, through Christ’s embrace, We find mercy abundant, and endless grace. When love’s intrinsic bond begins to fade, We stumble in darkness, our souls afraid. Clinging to limits, we falter and fall, Missing the essence of love’s gentle call. In the absence of this divine relation, We struggle in vain for life's elation. No matter our efforts, our striving, our fight, Without God's love, there is no light. But in the darkest, broken-hearted night, God’s glory shines, pure and bright. Grace and mercy, a radiant beam, Lifting spirits from despair’s dream. For those crushed in spirit, weary and weak, God's love is the solace they seek. In His embrace, hearts find their way, To joy, peace, and hope each day. So remember, in moments of strife, God’s grace and mercy sustain our life. Through Christ, we’re raised, with love to see, The beauty of God’s eternity. -Steven G. Lee
