But for God’s Grace I watched the prisoner shackled by chains Wishing to God he could be free My soul felt his grief and pain But for God’s grace that could be me I watched the beggar walk the street Wishing to God a meal was free So tired of begging for food to eat But for God’s grace that could be me I watched the homeless mother cry asking, “Can you house my children and me?” Dejected she turned and walked away But for God’s grace that could be me It was my sin that nailed Christ to that tree Itshould have been my scarred face He took my sin and died for me Giving new meaning to the word called Grace Thank you, Jesus, for matchless grace That pardoned and set me free Though another’s circumstance, another’s face But for God’s grace that could be me Cheryl McClellan 10/5/01 |

Cheryl, this brought a myriad of emotions to me this evening.... 'Fiction is the truth inside the lie.' ~Stephen King |

A perfect poem of perfect humility! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

A perfect poem for a time when so many people are making new year's resolutions ... In that we have done a good deed for the least of these our brothers and sisters, we have done that same deed for the benifit of our lord and maker. I like you am very thankful not only for what God delivered me from but also what God has kept me from by His grace. Happy new year and God bless you. -Bob |

Thank you all for sharing your comments. Grace is a beautiful thing and seeing another's plight is something that must motivate the hearts of believers to act. So nice hearing all of your thoughts. Cheryl |
