Simply Steppingstones...

As soon as I question Your ways, God

I forget my place

I am a sinner washed in Your blood

I am a sinner saved by Your grace!

 But God proves His love for us in this: 

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Rom.5:8

Lord, let me not forget my place

I am a sinner saved by grace

What you allot, allow, ordain

Help me accept and not complain

The mind and heart of God, who knows

The love wherefrom all blessing flows

Pours in a mercy-tide to we

Who would be hopeless/helpless without Thee

Our anguish cupped in mortal glove

Often misunderstands Your love

Yet, words are inept to explain

The loss You suffered for our gain

Then, in this leap of hold-let go

Remind us, Lord, each high or low

In all we touch, taste, see and do

Are simply stepping-stones to You

…where all we prize of earthly ties

Is but a vault of veiled good-byes

So let us not forget our place

We are but sinners, saved by grace

Psalm 59:16
But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. 

For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
