Based on lyrics from “I Made Room for Grace” on Sue Riley’s CD: “I Am Love”:When I stop resisting, I get what I needed – and so much more.
Rather than insisting on my own way, I open my arms in surrender.
Since I made room for grace, I just stepped aside and opened up a space.
Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace.
