Your Grace/Poem by Lightwalker

Your Grace

So many strings that tie me down
to earth
And yet I long to fly to you
I need your perfect freedom, Lord
And clarity to see

O faster, Father, faster
Please send your love to me.

And all the hurts and heartaches
That are sent my way
I thank you Lord, for all of these
They teach me to let go

Of temporary things I cannot hold
And O my Father, cleanse me
And in the fire mend me
And make of me your purity, and whole

So long am I in school, Lord
Yet you must make me whole,Lord
And lead your creature, blind and groping
To the light of life

I thank you, O my Father
Please lead me higher, farther
Until at last I look upon your face
So many things you teach me,
By your grace.
