Just for a moment
Of offer this day
Take the word of grace
To dwell on and pray
When it was blessed
In times of our life
That change our direction
To joy from our strife
To let it soak in
A true celebration
A gift that leads to our,
Eternal salvation
Look all around us
Becoming aware
That everything’s grace
In this moment here
A treasure divine
One so heartwarming
When His grace is known
It’s truly transforming
A word of arising
To dwell with and pray
With such grateful joy
Of grace here this day
I look behind me
And I’m so amazed
How grace rescued me
In so many ways
I look before me
And grace is the key
To unlock the door
To eternity
Not just to receive
But grace to live here
For the giver of grace
Gives us grace to share
Come here my beloved
Fall in my embrace
Allow me to gift you
A blessing of grace
To draw our hearts closer
Of love to outpour
To know you’re a treasure
And how much you’re adored
In arms of surrounding
May you find safety
A place of protection
Of peace cover thee
Found in the grip
Of hands holding tight
Are ones here to help you
And serve with delight
This blessing a glimpse
I hope that you find
Of the perfect blessing
From our God divine
Upon a tree barren
Of gentle embrace
Awakening into
A vision of grace
Spirit of dwelling
Of treasure divine
Through mist of igniting
The blessed light shines
Each drop of dew
Sings with delight
As all of creation
Is anointed with light
A moment of being
Soul fully aware
Surrendering into
A pasture of prayer
Of nothing deserved
A gift from above
Soul of receiving
Unconditional love
My soul is drawn to
This holy place
A chapel of Presence
Of a sacred space
Of divine sacrament
A pasture of prayer
Soul of the molding
Finds nourishment here
Reflection of light
Of echoing Word
With lingering incense
The Spirit is heard
Each morning a greeting
Of welcomed embrace
Oh, how I treasure
This womb of grace
Sunday Autumn morning
With sunlight on our face
Warm the touching light
But all we feel is grace
A gaze into horizon
So beautiful this place
Colors overflowing
But all we is see is grace
So wonderful the song
That fills this empty space
Creation sings its praise
But all we hear is grace
To receive Your love
Wrapped in soft embrace
Mercy overflowing
And all we know is grace
A lesson here of blessing
So many things we chase
But all we really need
Is Your gift of grace
How blessed be the soul
Who makes a place to pray
A nesting of dwelling
Where the soul longs to stay
A room or a corner
That is set aside
In Church or in nature
Where Spirit resides
A garden of beauty
Of touching divine
Ground of the sacred
Where Holy light shines
One of deep comfort
Of welcomed embrace
The soaking of prayer
A space full of grace
We wake into this new day
With Spirit shining bright
As we look to the horizon
And dwell within the light
Through the silent stillness
We drift unto above
Into the source of all
Receiving of Your love
Filled to overflowing
Tender the embrace
Purpose of bestowing
The sharing of Your grace
Joy in the receiving
Your precious love to share
Blessed within the bringing
A taste of heaven here
We pause and we acknowledge
Your love complete, right here
Within this peaceful stillness
We offer up our prayer
For found within this silence
Your voice is speaking clear
Our faith within the knowing
You’ve everything prepared
Nothing of deserving
Your treasures we embrace
Gratitude of sharing
For everything is grace
A peaceful presence
That we all chase
A being of
A state of grace
So simply to be
Of gift to embrace
Offered for free
Acceptance of grace
Where sins are forgiven
Without a trace
Blessing of mercy
A shower of grace
Soul of the sacred
In a holy place
In presence of You
A being of grace
Would you paint me a sunset?
Of suns golden waves
Blending the colors
Of which the soul craves
Would you write me a story?
Of the king of all kings
With gift of salvation
and love that He brings
Would you gift me a journey?
With blessings bestowed
Adventure of living
With Lord here to know
Would you grant me a treasure?
Of divine dwelling be
Residing in heaven
For all eternity
