Undeserved Favor
by:Jewell Mimms Ridley
Your enduring favor rests upon me
For reasons I cannot begin to explain
Your grace has surely saved me
Your love for me has never changed
How could anyone possibly believe
That I have the favor of You?
My life has been not one would envy
Dreams unfulfilled, Plans not coming through
Doesn’t favor mean You want the very best?
Doesn’t favor mean I am better than the rest?
If you knew favor meant you might have to suffer
Would you want the favor of God or turn to another?
Favor can sometimes mean that you will be chosen
To take the narrow path to see if you will be broken
To be tried and tested by the world and its limitations
To come out on the other side
With peace, joy, and celebration
I know in my spirit I have the favor of God
I thank him daily and give him glory
I know in my life I have the grace of God
Because I am still here to tell my story
