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.
