Student Highlight: Year 7 Poem

Read on for a lovely, poetic encouragement of God’s grace, written by one of our Year 7 students.

In the Embrace of Grace

WORDS: Kuothekur B

I wandered through the darkest night, My heart weighed down, my soul in flight.

But then His love, like morning’s dawn, Broke through the clouds, my fears were gone.

Like a shepherd seeking every sheep, (Isaiah 40:11, in His care so deep), I felt His arms, strong and kind, Wrap around my weary mind.

His love, a river, vast and wide, Flowed through my heart, where pain did hide. It cleansed my soul, made me anew, And in His light, I found what’s true.

In Him, I found both strength and peace, (Philippians 4:13, all doubts released), His love, a fire, warm and bright, Guiding me through the darkest night.

No love on earth can quite compare, To His embrace, beyond all care. In stillness, I now rest and know, His grace will never let me go.

So now I walk, my faith restored, A child of God, forever adored.

For in His love, I am made whole, His precious grace, it fills my soul.

For today I was made new

Knowing that it was true

See I may not fast for 40 days

For I know I shall not runaway
