Grace For The Humble

Should we walk in pride, we forfeit God's grace,
For pride in a heart His care will displace.
His eye will rest on one who is humble,
Who serves Him in love... one who won't grumble.

To live in His grace and feel His love
Is experience divine from the Father above.
He so wants to bless us. If we will draw nigh
He'll pour out His grace in endless supply.

We cannot know the dangers around us
Or overcome fears which strike and confound us.
But we have His grace to carry us through...
A sweet place of rest in all that we do.

"But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."
James 4:6 & 10 KJV
