Heaven’s Grace

The sound of running water,
Reminds me of Heaven’s grace,
Where simple bread and wine,
Become the Body and Blood of Christ.

The sound enters my ears,
Penetrating to the depths of my soul,
Telling me that God’s presence,
Is here in this sacred space.

This moment of grace enfolds me,
Filling me with unending love,
Heaven’s floodgates are surely open,
As I rest in my Savior’s arms.
