GRACE IN A BARREN PLACE

I was that Mephibosheth
Crippled by my twisted pride and
hiding from you in a barren place
where You could not find me
where You would not give me what I
deserved.
But somehow You found me and
I don’t understand why but You
Give me what I do not deserve.
You not only spared my desolate life but
You made it bountiful
And here at Your table
I will thank You, my
King.
