Analysis of Grace On Arrival



Grace On Arrival

God’s riches at Christ’s expense is my life
My personal bank account
Paying and paving the way forward
The path I pedal and pursue
Nothing I do is outside of God’s grace
And there is no limit to what I can do
Grace on arrival is my soul’s state
And His pulse beats in me.

The greatest love of all conquers my life
Everything my heart requires
Finds its fulfillment and is complete
Because grace is favor and opportunity
Leading me to the right place
At the right time with the right people
For the right purpose
Grace is my compass and course.

With Grace in me I am informed to live
Not by my line of credit
Love is the currency I spend to adapt
Facing the world with gratitude
I am in spirit of a power beyond me
Humble, hopeful and strong
Knowing I am empowered
By Grace on arrival.
