Grace

Grace is the well of life,
The source of everything.
It is creation’s voice,
The spirit of our king.

There we find salvation,
Within it’s loving light.
It will profoundly change
Our sense of wrong and right.

It heaves within the breast
Of those who seek the path
That leads to redemption,
And shields us all from wrath.

Its gaze will pierce the heart,
And lay the spirit bare.
Any soul, insincere,
Will find only despair.

For grace is perfection,
Unblemished is its face.
None can look upon it,
And reject its embrace.

It shows us who we are,
Beneath our many masks.
Exposing our secrets,
To anyone who asks.

Once we have seen the truth,
And KNOW what we have been,
Grace becomes the fountain,
That makes us clean again.

It allows those who choose
To enter its embrace,
To find the salvation
They seek within God’s grace.
