A holy hand upon my face.
The warmth of sun that falls like grace.
A heart of joy from justification.
A stance of peace from Your salvation.
Who could ever give me such?
Infinite love like a gentle clutch,
Upon my soul, from here to the end.
A spiritual fracture brought to mend.
I was my past, You’re my future.
I was the wound, You’re the Suture.
Once empty cup, now filled with water.
An unloved child, loved by the Father.
You made me free of burning hell;
You make me weep, in spite of self.
You make me love what I’ve become,
You make me love Your holy Son.
I take Your hand, but not for me,
To place on another; make them free.
With Your grace, like the sun
Give me brothers, make us one.
Let them know Your justification,
Help them stand on Your salvation.
Grant me joy, give them such.
I want them to know Your gentle clutch.

Author notes
To respond to what the Lord has done, what has to give.
What delights Him best is to give self.
