Under the Roof of Grace By Brenda Drake

This is a sample page in my newest Inspirational Christian poetry book titled Peace Be Still by Brenda Drake available on Amazon in kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover.

Salvation is God’s gift. We do not deserve His mercy and we cannot earn His grace. It is a wonderful free provision that was far from free to Jesus the Savior and Lover of our Soul. We are invited to trust in His work in our behalf and run under His wings of grace.

Under the Roof of Grace

Come let us gather under the roof of grace.
It is there we encounter our quest to see God’s face.
Under His umbrella of eternal love is peace,
It is there in His presence you find increase.
Faith and hope dance a forever dance there;
The heart sings love songs of worship, praise and prayer.
Under the roof of grace demons cannot go.
Only the redeemed can enter, heart, mind, body, and soul.
Under the cover of grace fears cannot stay,
For, they are lifted in prayer and cast away.
Come let us gather under the provision of assured favor,
And go out again to share God’s love with our neighbor.
Who is your neighbor? Whoever your life touches that day.
You have opportunity to share the joys of mercy and grace.
Come let us gather another moment and you will see,
The roof of grace covers you wherever you will be.

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

All Because By Brenda Drake

Grace

I was not looking to be saved. I did not even know I needed to be saved. I am now set aside, and have a new purpose to my life. I did nothing to earn it and did nothing to deserve it. It is true only because my heavenly Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit called me to Him and set to work for me to receive such a great gift as this.

All Because

All because of a Father’s love, was mankind saved by grace.
All Because of the obedient Son my sins are erased
Because of a sacrifice on a tree upon the hill;
All because the Son of God died in my place I am fulfilled.
All because of a prayer stated in behalf of my soul;
All because ears heard from the Almighty’s throne;
All because the Spirit wooed and urged my heart to believe;
All because of God’s angels work, to help me receive.
All because of Jesus do I now write this word of rhyme.
All because of mercy and grace am I with Him aligned.
Only because He chose me and because He helped me change,
Am I free to live without bondage and shame.
All because of Him I am brand new within.
I will try to serve and do all I can to glorify Him;

Isaiah 43:10
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Diamonds on God’s Crystal Sea By Brenda Drake

There is nothing as valuable as God’s favor. The love poured upon us is precious and abundant in every situation and in every place we step. His favor is even available in the places we cannot walk without His help. By faith I walk on the waters to gather the diamonds on God’s sea prepared for me.

Diamonds on God’s Crystal Sea

Favor shines like diamonds on God’s sea;
That pours out His love as He abides in me.
He kindly observes all I say and do;
The Holy Spirit directs my every move.
As a loving mother cares for her young each day,
Or as a devoted father that gently persuades to obey.
He is as the big brother who walks ahead,
Leading the way the Father’s Word says.
God’s favor attends to every need along the path:
Arranging to keep us healthy and on track,
Whispering sweet loving words in the times of stress,
With thrills of promise that assures all turn out as best,
Displaying High Mountain views of His dream for our life,
And with joy of glorious guarantee of a future with Christ.
Through the living testimony of His provisions for others,
His exciting invitation as He beckons us to His truth discover,
They all shine like diamonds on God’s Crystal Sea.
So great is God’s favor upon His redeemed.
