Grace Sufficient
 
I work double-time on Sundays
to ensure “financial success”
I know I should go to worship
but surely it won’t hurt to miss

I lust after the flesh when I know it’s wrong
then paradoxically praise Him in prayer and song
He presents me with opportunities to glorify Him
and I tell myself I’m too busy, and then go fishing with a friend

In pride I wear my righteousness for all to see
Not for His glory but to say “look at me”
Too proud to give my time to help the man on the street
I’d rather give my money and think myself elite

I’m a sinner, Christ sanctified me
God admits me as worthy
Because His sons grace is sufficient for me

“…My grace is sufficient for thee…”
2 Corinthians 12:9
