My house with fury, fearsome might.
Pounding such force, it would not quit,
Tearing me apart bit, by bit, by bit.
It drowned the place I knew so well,
This vicious, hating beast from hell.
Then when at last, he thought I was done,
Along came rescue in God's only Son.
He looked at me so pitifully,
Loving and promising to rebuild....me?
There's nothing left, said I to him,
I felt the future looked dark and dim.
But with a smile upon his face,
He said, I'll save you by my own grace.
With that bright hope, and through a tear,
I answered his call, Come here! Come here!
To my surprise, he jumped right in,
To rid me of my stormy sin.
He ripped and pulled away my walls,
He stripped me of my very all.
And piece by piece, he then replaced,
And so, he built me by his own grace.
New rooms of love to welcome in
Another house so stained by sin.
To broken walls, a warm embrace.
A promise to rebuild by his own grace.

It's not really about encouragement, but it was lovely to read. "Grace" is my favorite aspect of God, and I cling to it often.
