A Prayer For Grace-Morgan Harper Nichols

If I could make just one request,

I would mark all the days I had left

I'd rather not be known for treasures and fame or trophies I know will fade

Instead I would rather be known,

by the kindness and love that I've shown

to be known for patience and long suffering, 

a giver of life by the words that I speak

So with every breath You give to breathe

I pray it's Your glory that they see

and of all the words this world could say

may they say I was full of grace

I'll be the first to confess

I'm not always found at my best,

but Lord be my strength in those moments I'm weak,

and I'll keep on giving the grace I've received

So with every breath You give to breathe

I pray it's Your glory that they see

and of all the words this world could say

may they say I am full of grace

And finally when I see your face

and I've reached the end of my race

I don't want to be known for finishing strong,

but as someone that your grace carried all along

So with every breath You give to breathe

I pray it's Your glory that they see

and of all the words this world could say

may they say I was full of grace

{Grace only sticks to our imperfections}

Oh Jesus, may grace reign over me.

May I live it and breathe it.

May I never take your grace for granted.

Without it, I am nothing.

Grace for my soul, 

today, tomorrow, forever.
