Grace in its
highest definition is
God in the Son
to be enjoyed by us;
It is not only
something done or giv’n,
But God Himself,
our portion glorious.
God is incarnate
in the flesh that we
Him may receive,
experience ourself;
This is the grace
which we receive of God,
Which comes thru Christ
and which is Christ Himself.
Paul the Apostle
counted all as dung,
’Twas only God in Christ
he counted grace;
’Tis by this grace—
the Lord experienced—
That he surpassed
the others in the race.
It is this grace-Christ
as our inward strength—
Which with His
all-sufficiency doth fill;
It is this grace
which in our spirit is,
There energizing,
working out God’s will.
This grace, which is
the living Christ Himself,
Is what we need
and must experience;
Lord, may we know this grace
and by it live,
Thyself increasingly
as grace to sense.
