How Do You Do?

How do you do
What you do
When you do it?
I am amazed
How many times
you blew it
Though you tried
and tried.
Still, you could not hide
whatever you did,
God knew it...
...and by His Mercy,
He helped you through it.

How can you be
What you be
When you be it?
I am amazed
How many times
you'd flee it
Though I prayed
and prayed.
Still, my mind was made
whatever God said,
I'd agree it...
...and by His Grace,
He helped You to see it.

-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-

Isn't is wonderful how the words "Amazing" and "Grace" just sort of go together, I really loved it.

So truth packed this well written verse is!  I can look back on so many things in life, even before my awareness of God's grace, and see how caring, forgiving and tender He's been in His faithfulness as my keeper.  Now, I can hardly believe how I got through so many situations, but I know it was His boundless grace in unconditional love.  Thank you.
