This poem by guest writer, M. S. Lowndes, speaks to taking the fragrance of God’s grace everywhere we go.

 

 The Fragrance Of Grace

 

We are your children, Lord,

Saved by your precious grace

And walking in your victory,

Living by hope and faith

 

We come before your holy throne

And worship at your feet,

Our souls renewed with new hope,

Our spirits now set free

 

We yearn to know you more, O God,

More than we do right now

And we long for your presence, Lord,

As before your throne, we bow

 

May we be as fragrant offerings,

An incense of the Lord

That you may take pleasure in us,

A vessel you have called

 

So you may fill to overflow

With your Holy Spirit of truth,

So we can take your gospel, Lord,

To those who don’t know you

 

And be to them as Jesus was,

To love them all despite

Wherever they have come from, Lord,

For you can change their lives

 

So they can come before you

And worship you with praise,

To come into your presence, Lord,

And receive your saving grace.
