Christ given
grace received
then given
creates a
life-giving,
blessing-filled,
boundless eternal legacy.

May we allow
Christ to do
the hard and
oftentimes painful
work of death to self
so that we may wear
and be filled with
the ultimate crown,
Christ himself!

Humility
is the
beautiful
Crown of grace
that triumphs,
trials, sorrow
and suffering
often makes.

May we as the glorious and
beloved Church of Jesus Christ
breathe in our Savior’s glorious,
glistening,
gratuitous,
breath-taking,
beautiful,
ever-abounding,
never-ending
grace upon grace
upon grace,
upon grace,
good news
so we can
lavishly,
lovingly,
mercifully,
humbly,
bind up wounds
without the vinegar
of self-righteousness
but as a leper cleansed
restored and made new.

May we always be lavish
abundant, ceaseless
grace givers as we
always humbly herald and
boldly yet graciously
proclaim and live out the
glorious gift of
salvation’s
victorious,
triumphant,
good news!
