All we needed when we first came to Jesus was His grace, and grace is all we need to grow in Christ. Grace liberates us. Our tendency toward performance imprisons us.
From Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God–not the result of works, so that no one may boast.”
From 2 Timothy 1:14: “Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.”

Life’s richest treasures, waiting just ahead
Following God’s true light to a new day
Unlike any of man’s earthly treasures
With God’s Spirit, angels leading the way
Our journey defined by something greater
Life can only be measured by God’s wealth
Allowing heart and soul to follow God
Our Father’s treasured Grace, restores our health
Rejoicing, now choosing God’s truthful way
Do you witness and see this path as well?
Join with Jesus, we’ll follow together
Following our Savior, our treasures swell
Courage, faith, and hope carry us along
Fueled by God’s love, we march to Jesus’ song

The Grace of God transcends all our feeble efforts to describe it. It cannot be poured into any mental receptacle without running over.
From Romans 8:35, 37: “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things, we are more than victorious through Him who loved us.”

From 2 Thessalonians 1:11: “To this end we always pray for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of His call and will fulfill by His power every good resolve and work of faith.”
Feeling lost, alone, and unworthy
Walking forward to seek God
Questioning and asking, crying out
Gathering together, we trust God
Seeking Christ must come first
Contrasting himself to the Messiah
Foretelling of the One coming
Crying out in the wilderness
Baptizing believers at the Jordan
Sending John to baptize Jesus
Sensing himself to be unworthy
Finding Christ must come first
Expressing love now for family
Adoring father, mother, son, daughter
Returning from his sinful journey
Rejoicing, a prodigal son found
Suffering dishonor for Christ’s sake
Preaching, Apostles speak the Gospel
Loving Christ must come first
Accepting God’s gift of Grace
Blessing us as worthy Christians
Coming to believe Christ’s Salvation
Humbling praising His blessed truth
Creating all things, God cares
Receiving glory, honor, and power
Standing alone at the Cross
Ransoming His body and blood
Loving and accepting our Savior

Most days, life experiences calming seas
Witnessing each moment, steady to see
God provides for us, through it all
Picking us up, even when we fall
Life moves along at its normal pace
Taking for granted, God’s free grace
Then, stormy seas appear in the west
Bringing worried looks, never the best
Life’s ship now encounters the storm
Feeling the sea’s fury, totally reborn
Panic and worry fill helpless hearts
Asking God, may we try a restart?
Our boat takes on water, brisk and cold
Overwhelming our spirit, no longer bold
Has our Lord forsaken us at this time?
Sinking ship, as faith no longer climbs
Across the tempest sea, comes a voice
Calming the storm and sea, His choice
Our Lord and Savior walks over to thee
Releasing the terror caused by the sea
In an instant, the dark storm is gone
Restoring faith and hope, now strong
God prompts us to maintain our hope
Remaining faithful, steadies our boat
Calm or stormy seas, look straight ahead
Accepting God’s grace, always best said
Thank you Lord for being with us each day
Reminding us, Your Word points the way
