His Saving Grace
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die…”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a KJV
You spared my life again, oh Lord
I really shouldn’t even be here
Your mighty hand protected me
In the midst of my worst fears
Now when I gaze at the ruins
There is no rhyme or reason
That I was left standing there
Yet, to everything there is a season
You lifted me up!
I walked out of the wreck
Dazed and stunned
But with barely a speck
This isn’t even the first time
That I’ve had a brush with death
Had the wind completely knocked out of me
Barely able to catch my next breath
You seem to be trying considerably hard
To catch my wayward attention
As I’ve always approached the word of God
With hesitation and utmost caution
But I can see very clearly now
How really precious my life is
And how I shouldn’t waste a single moment
‘Cause after all, they are all His
I will focus on what is important to me
Putting love in the center of the ring
For that is what makes the world go round
And what makes every human heart sing!
Our lives can be changed in an instant…
We can’t really count on tomorrow
We only have this day, this moment
We’re living on time that is borrowed
So I’ll look at each day quite differently now
Every morning when I open my eyes
I’ll sing His praises loud and clear
For this life that He gives me is a prize!
