But me he caught--- reached all the way
from sky to sea; he pulled me out
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,
the void in which I was drowning.
They hit me when I was down,
but God stuck by me.
He stood me up on a wide-open field,
I stood there saved--- surprised to be loved!
God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
he gave me a fresh start.
Now I'm alert to God's ways,
I don't take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works,
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I'm watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

How can I possibly add anything to that?
I am so grateful.
I still can only barely believe that God saved me.
That he made a concentrated effort to specially orchestrate events, time, people... to bring me back in.
And that he is counting on me to bring glory to Him.
That is just beyond my comprehension.
But even so, how can I just sit on that?
Father show me how to give grace like you've given it to me.
Give me opportunities to exercise compassion.
Faith to treat people the way I would treat you if you were here and hurting and despised.
Make me brave.
Amen.
