1st Peter 2:3. “If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” TASTED. That first taste may be small as we take a sip And the sweetness and goodness pass our lip. Then the urge is there to swallow and keep That flavor, that goodness – the next swallow is deep.
The first taste of grace I hardly did know – My life was spared perhaps I was too young to show Any serious response, only I was glad to be alive – And I know it was God who let me survive.
Listening to prayers, reading the Bible, singing hymns – Although I was ignorant God was working then In grace to bring me in time to Himself And as time went along, God’s grace was often felt.
The Gospel of God’s grace opened my careless heart, And the Spirit began to convict me, grace began to start A work of revelation of God to my soul – And then Christ’s death for me show grace to the full.
That first taste of grace made me want grace even more. Grace to live by brought me to a far shore. Grace has been with me through life, God still does bless And daily, sometimes hourly, I’m aware of His graciousness.
“Even here this morning, Father, I am conscious of Thy grace in giving a good rest, giving good health and every needed and granted blessing. I praise Thee for Thy grace. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
