By Grace
We are not saved by following a man or by mimicking someone elseWe are not saved by following mans conditions, rules or lawsNor are we saved by anothers gift or someone else's callingWe are not saved by someone else's beliefs or reasoningWe are saved by His grace
We may learn by another’s actions and follow their exampleWe may delight in the law of the Lord and meditate in His waysAnd be taught by another's beliefs and consider their reasoningWe may rejoice in another's gift, and thank God for their callingWe are saved by His grace
We are not saved by knowing all the mysteries, the expanse of time and spaceWe are not saved by knowing the Bible, His word for todayNor are we saved by our efforts, perspiration or willWe are not saved by following creeds, intellect or dogmaWe are saved by His grace
So I will not stop seeking His faceI will wonder at His revelationSearch out to see if these things be soListen for His still small voiceCommune with Him in privatePray to Him in the closetWorship at His holinessRejoice at His loveWalk in His stepsPraise His mercyLove HIM
