I know it's Grace...

I know it is by grace that I have anything.

For I see all that I have in my life and beyond

and I realise that I have not deserved a shred of it.

Starting from my dear mother and sibling in my early years,

to friends and my beloved wife and children in these latter years,

and to my dear King - whom I, having ignored and run away from continually - patiently shows the greatest love and kindness to me.

He was even humiliated and died for me.

I have received such that I could never repay nor could I ever deserve

That is but a fraction of the grace of God in the face of his Son, dear King, Almighty God, Jesus.
