How will you honor God’s Gift of Grace

The trials, the sacrifice, the suffering of Christ
nothing without the grace of God
our lives redeemed, raised from the dead
the shackles cast off, given new life
free to live, unbound by our sin
How will you honor God’s gift of grace
forgiving us completely, sending the Christ
letting himself suffer, to die on the cross
how will you be different, more faithful
because God gave you life
