Grace Has To Be Drunk

"Make my life a prayer to you
I wanna do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you’re really there

Well I want to thank you know
For being patient with me
Oh it’s so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I’ll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh You’re coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there
You’re not some fable or fairy tale
That I’ve made up inside my head
You’re God the son and you’ve risen from the dead

I wanna die and let you give Your life to me so
I might live And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free" --Keith Green

God bless you today sister...i read last night this little part that i loved :
"Grace has to be drunk straight: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale; neither goodness, nor badness, nor the flowers that bloom in the spring of super spirituality could be allowed to enter into the case." -The Ragamuffin Gospel.
..my cousin zander said to me last night that this book changed his life. lets pray it does the same for us, eh? have a wonderful week with Bonnie!

I loved that bit too. I highlighted it like crazy. I'm still thinking about it. It is the clearest statement of what I need and what I have been missing. Grace drunk straight. REALLY straight.

It was a nice week with Bonnie. Brought back memories. I'm tired.
I love you.
