Jesus Is Yours
Embracing Grace: Finding Redemption in the Struggles of Life
Lyrics
All who have called on Jesus name
All individuals who have invoked the name of Jesus
Who know that he died and yet he lives
Those who understand that Jesus died and rose again
We have all stumbled and failed to lay claim
We all have faltered and failed to claim
To the new life that he freely gives
The new life freely given by Jesus
You who for lasting approval have labored
Those who have toiled for lasting approval from fickle people
Under the glare of fickle men
Under the scrutiny of unpredictable individuals
Yours is the love, the acceptance and favor
They receive love, acceptance, and favor akin to God's perfect Son
That God shows to his perfect Son
God's favor is bestowed upon them
Don't be discouraged
Do not be disheartened
For the Spirit of grace
The Spirit of grace continues the battle won on Calvary
Continues the fight that was won on Calvar
Transforming our betrayal into faith
Turning our treason into faith
You who struggle in conflict with others
Hounded by disputes and small-scale wars
Dogged by quarrels and petty wars
They are adopted, making them eternal brothers and sisters
Yours is the adoption that makes us brothers
And sisters; one forevermore
Those whose intense desires have led to unfulfilled cravings
You whose lustful longings have led you
Superseding lesser longings
To cravings deep yet unfulfilled
Yours is the peace and final fulfillment
Individuals who, in pain, questioned God's goodness
Which bids lesser longings to be still
Waiting for His power to bring liberation
You who in pain have doubted His goodness
And waited on his power to set you free
Those who boast in wealth and power
Yours is the God, who in the darkness cried
Seeing only superficial needs in abundance
"My God, why have you forsaken me?"
Their humility reflects the Most High who took on flesh and bled
You who exalt in your wealth and power
And in abundance, see but shallow need
-Yours is the lowliness of the most High
-Who took on flesh that he might bleed
