The Tapestry of Grace

The strength of grace is like a tapestry,
each strand is long, unbroken, and unfrayed,
up close or far, the weave’s pure quality,
our broken virtues woven in each braid.

Grace does not make us good, God made us good,
but in a fallen world, grace makes us best,
we artists of ourselves, it’s understood,
weave best we can, and God does all the rest.

The strands of grace God gives are very strong,
God don’t make junk, His grace is more than gold,
our tapestry of grace will last us long,
His favor, friendship, power is of old.

At death we’ll see our tapestry as whole,
God’s woven grace in my most grateful soul.
