INTIMACY WITH GOD

You and I see, speak face to face

Words - knows what the other will say

Word for word

Thoughts - or is about to say

Heart to heart

Actions - or maybe rather not sound

Like a sounding brass but show it

With a song, a smile, a kiss, a gift

 And yet, it seems it’s not even about that

Not what I say or do, it’s who I am

Nor what you say or do, it’s who you are

That draws me near to your presence

You and I see, face to face
So into-me-see
That my faith and your love may walk
Hand in hand

GRACE

You can’t understand what it means to have a relationship with God without understanding grace. Without grace, you don’t have any relationship with God. It is the heart of Christianity. It is the heart of following Christ and being a believer. Remember: No matter what you’ve done and no matter who you are, God’s grace is available to you.
