Contemplating Grace – v2

Maybe like Naaman
putting a stumbling block,
an additional hurdle, a burden,
where there is love.

Believing that there is more to do
somehow to earn God’s love
thinking too much
when we should just believe.

Contemplating grace
more to be done by us
too easy to wash in the waters
that the price already was paid.

The price already paid,
stamped Paid In Full,
only to die with Christ,
that we may rise with Him.

To come before the cross,
we admit our unworthiness
that we can’t be worthy
righteous enough.

Needing the gift of God’s grace,
accepting Christ as our Savior
transforming our path
the course of my life.
