Despite my human behavior and my many flaws,
I’m thankful that I won’t be judged under His law.

My spirit can’t be overloaded or overwhelmed,
knowing I’m blessed… under the heavenly realms.

After embracing Christ’s holy, blood redemption,
God’s promises and plans for me, were set in motion.

When I believed, I was graced with the presence
of the Spirit and opened up to The Word’s eloquence.

As my hurting heart to Him was sincerely turned,
it became easier to study Scriptures and learn…

that once adopted into Christ’s eternal family,
my spiritual purposes would be revealed clearly.

Now the depths of my faith that can be plumbed,
secure of my guaranteed inheritance in His Kingdom.

My joy overflows this mundane life and its mortal brim
from recognizing that I have been… Accepted by Him!
