But Everything Is By The Grace Of God! Poem by Dr John Celes

The success that I get isn’t fully mine;
The harvest that I reap isn’t by my toil;
The feats those I perform are not my own;
But everything is by the grace of God!

The peaks of glory those I climb isn’t mine;
The rungs of life’s ladder, not on my own;
The achievements I get not just my toil;
But everything is by the grace of God!

The progress that I make isn’t truly mine;
The impacts I create, not by my strength;
The fame and name that comes, not on my own;
But everything is by the grace of God!

The roads that I travel aren’t by my will;
The steps I walk or run, not on my own;
The calls I seem to heed not just mundane;
But everything is by the grace of God!

All things we do are by the will of God;
All sins we do are by our own free will;
All good achieved is by God’s mercy, love;
Yes, everything is by the grace of God!
