when you want to give grace
and extend respect and play nice
…but you’re clumsy and injured and skeptical
you look Grace in the eye and cry help
when you want to spread hope
and encourage dreams and fan faith
…but you’re hesitant and weak and suspicious
you touch Hope in the heart and plead please
when you want to show love
and give compassion and meet needs
…but you’re tired and timid and scarred
you stir Love in the Spirit and sing thank you
for your receipt of Grace
and your gathering of Hope
and your taking in of Love
so you can give Grace out
and spread Hope around
and show Love to all
when you want to
you’ll be enabled to
because He is able to
amen

Praying for enablement.
