It shows a month
the joy, fun, care
there's something special
no doubt about that

It shows more than two years
ups and downs, tears and joy
I know it doesnt end here
and I'm still hoping for that day

It shows varied duration
some longer, some more recent
I've learnt not to take anything for granted
especially people

It shows numerous years
few words, silent moments
means more?
Perhaps it's time to figure things out

It shows the duration of nineteen years
set aside by each one
ordinary but appreciated
it's pricless

It's time personified

I wish certain time could be redeemed...

All Sufficient Grace

My heart is so proud.
My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me
as great things I have done.
And now You gently break me,
then lovingly You take me
and hold me as my Father
and mold me as my Maker.

I ask you:
"How many times will you pick me up,
when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
how far will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer:
"My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak
and feel a bit discouraged,
knowing that someone,
somewhere could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?
I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart
and keeps me hanging on.

I ask you:
"How many times will you pick me up,
when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer:
"My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You,
I'm learning what Your grace really means.
The price that I could never pay
was paid at Calvary.
So, instead of trying to repay You,
I'm learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to You
For all that You've given to me.

I ask you:
"How many times will you pick me up,
when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."


Help me to seek Your face,
and walk in the power of Your daily sufficient grace
