Twice Blessed

 

To him who gives and to the one who takes

Grace and mercy a double blessing makes

When mercy’s given tenderly

Grace becomes love that we can see

When patience and forgiveness strain

We are given mercy’s test

When we’re treated like a servant

We see if as a servant we’ve progressed

To strain against convention

To explode our comfort zone

A meekness that God’s strength supplies

Shows off the grace we’ve known.
