ELECTED BY GRACE by Osunkoya Olaniyi

ELECTED BY GRACE

Drowned, helpless and wanting around in sin

Low, guilty, enslaved and crushed

Shambles all over, death lurking around

Darkness looms like deep sea all around me

Waiting in pains as one for slaughter.

My fatling lay waste in my ever fearful soul

Dry bones rejoice for they see sapien more hopeless

Dry grass restore their faith at my sight

For I became a curse to the living

Yet I know not that i lay in despair.

A tiny flash i saw in my wandering

For it became as great light...lightning my darkness

My eyes opened, my ears unblocked to perceive my troubles

There's nothing quiet as forlorn as this valley,

My chains I saw... My hell breaking lose

Light shone on my path, glory chose to shine on me

Comfort for my forlornness, exhilaration for my tears,

Help to my need, life to my all

Hope restored, t'was an awakening of my soul

Redemption to my weary soul.

Tis only by grace did he come for me

Only by grace did he die for me

Only by grace did he conquer sin for me

Only by grace did he choose to love me this big

And I’m grateful for thy grace.

Purpose driven life day 2

You Are Not an Accident I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born. Isaiah 44:2a (CEV) God doesn’t play dice. ----Albert Einstein You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it. Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! The Bible says, “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.” *God prescribed every single detail of your body.*He deliberately chose your race, the color of your skin,your hair*and *every other feature. He custom-made your body just the way He wanted it. He also determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your pe...

TO SEE THY FACE AGAIN by Osunkoya O'niyi

TO SEE THY FACE AGAIN I'll do anything to see thy face again For t'is lovely and joy to behold For it restored grace and beauty to my fading stance And a lightning struck across my wandering soul. I'll go far across the hills in sought of thy face Everest; I’ll climb with joy to behold its radiant beauty Hurdles will do nothing to my thirstiness for it And i'll faint not for the heights it requires. I'll cross Atlantic and ride past deep blue Pacific won't scare a bit for i seek thy face Pains; my want for you it helps seek height The worst is as the raising of Moses’ right arm. My heart melts to perceive your aura once more My flesh is rust from your prolonged absence Again, in want to feel alive and breathing And i'll do anything to see thy face again. 3:39, Aug. 03, 2016
