"Extended Grace"

My life's road has been unkind winding, twisted,tripping, falling over the bank I went. To proud to call for help, Save me!

I waded in the river of my tears, My mistakes swirled past me over, and again to remind me why I was drowning. I saw a man at the edge, hand extended... "TAKE MY HAND" I drifted past.

I thought the road was rough,I was wrong. I cried more tears, which added to the current, My mistakes now were slapping me in the face, Battering me thru.

My tears choking me the more I swallowed. I saw a man at the tears edge, hand extended... ''TAKE MY HAND'' Again I drifted past.

Up ahead ... there was nothing. The tears came to a fall. Fear stung my body,I tried to drown. Looking up...I saw the bright Son. He extended his hands, I grasped my savior, Gripping to never let go.

My tears dripped from my body. My mistakes dried from my clothes, My saviour,and I took Another road....
