there, but for Your Grace, go I

I know full well, my sin, my failure,
the sins I have committed,
the ways I have rejected You
my Savior and my God…
 
I share with them my witness,
how You saved my life,
how I could be just like them,
there, but for Your Grace, go I…
 
It is no exaggeration, my truth,
that my sins are an indictment,
a charge against my soul
I could never repay…
 
But You, Lord, You saved me from the pit
You raised me for a purpose, a mission,
to be Your broken vessel, willing,
to be filled, to be poured…

there, but for Your Grace, go I
 
after talking with some of the guys at the Overcomers Center
about my own addictions, sins, and how easily I could have
been in a program such as theirs
