Grace gives me no license to feel superior
Love gives me no reason to feel inferior
But feelings are confusing
How should I feel
Towards myself?
How highly ought I to think of myself?
Shall I place you on a pedestal in my mind?
Thoughts are confusing
And I don’t know what to think
About you
There is failure in comparison
Of attempting and hoping
To measure up
There is doubt and there is longing
There is fear and there is depression
To compare is to fail
To fail is human
God help me see
The only comparison is You
You are the measuring stick of perfection
And my incompleteness will never add up to Your glory
But you take me
And clothe me in grace
Grace is simple
Grace is power
Grace is true
In the midst of confusion
Thoughts and feelings
Mixing chaos
Your grace gives me license to stand confident
To speak of hope
To act in love
I am confident in You
