offer grace only – v2

offer grace to them
though unmerited by their actions
the evil which they speak
how they walk in life
but that is not yours to fix

don’t be jealous of them
their power, their position
their influence on them
the place which they hold
offer grace to them
right where you are

offer love only
the Fruit of the Spirit
reject the selfish self
the desires of the flesh

only then able are we able
to walk in the Kingdom
with our Savior, our King
the risen Christ, forevermore

offer love only
nothing bitter, sour,
sweet, like the Word of God,
a fragrant offering.
