Saving Face

I have tried to save face

When I felt I was losing the race

In pursuit of greatness and fame

How could I handle the shame?

I sought ways to survive

Only to build up stress and strife

I have learnt I have no face to save

But grace to have

He didn’t bring me this far to leave

He wants out of me a beautiful thing sewn

In responding to his call, I will be shown

Coz am not just called but chosen

To keep trusting him at my lowest

To push through this life's test

And walk with him to the greatest

I keep faith I keep right

His grace has given me sight

Not for my own pleasure and consumption

For his glory and his mission of redemption

Regardless of my circumstances

I will keep faith in all instances

For you may think I am losing the battle

Yet, all works for good to lift his mantle

I have no face to save

But grace to have
