W is for Where Would I Be?

Before this challenge is over and since Welcome to My World of Poetry has been such an inspiration I wanted to try my hand at poetry. I was meditating on the priceless grace of our Lord Jesus Christ one day. As I mediated it came to me that without His grace I would be lost. That prompted me to jot down some thoughts that asked the question, where I would be without Him?

Where Would I Be?
By Gregg Metcalf

I’m the one stained within
by a heart black with sin
Standing condemed today
I won’t even seek after you
But everytime you look at me
You don’t see what used to be
I’m clean by the Son you slew

Where would I be without your grace
without your favor poured on me
Nothing could I do to obtain
one drop of grace that would
remove every stain
Until you opened up my eyes
I couldn’t see you standing there
But you made me realize
my sin you would gladly bear
thank you for taking me in

Now I am yours indeed
Having all that I need
Every step I take
By your grace all the way
Growing daily for your sake
Yes you give me everthing
I need to live for you
Even the very will to do
Of you I will forever sing
