THE MUST OF FAITH

I have to trust
I must
Live by grace

I can't rely
On my own understanding
I must be seeking

Grace alone
Not a mixture
Of flesh and Spirit

I must hear it
The voice
Calling me away

Into the secret place
Of abiding love
Where I am sustained

Where I am kept
By sanctifying power
Not by performance

Oh, the romance!
Of pure grace
Releasing everything

To see Him
My Bridegroom King
Holding nothing

As my own
I must learn
Of His countenance

His all sufficiency
I must be
In love

With no plans
But to please Him
By simple faith

As I wait
On the revelation
Of His face

Oh, the embrace!
Of deep trusting
Taking me there

Into His chambers
Two lovers
Satisfied together

Devoted and pure
No mixture
Of law and grace

Only acceptance
Only love
Only rest

Only the blessedness
Of imbibing deeply
Lovers and friends

Face to face
In the secret place
Where I trust

In pure grace
Where I embrace
The must of faith
