Obedience Means True Faith

The grace of God is free, it's true But cost our LORD'S great sacrifice, A ransom paid for me and you For no human good could suffice. The grace of God is free, it's true But we need true repentant hearts, Clean vessels for grace to flow through And contain the Love He imparts. The grace of God is free, it's true But true faith shows in obedience, Our love's proven by what we do If we really have God's Presence. The grace of God is free, it's true, It can't be a license to sin, The Word guides us this whole life through Those who obey enter heaven. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~04.02.16 "Those who obey His commands live in Him and He in them." (1 John 3:24) ----------------------- A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain) has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line in the stanza. Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas. Any type of rhyme scheme can be used.

Love this new form with such simple, yet deep and touching thoughts. Obedience sure is better than sacrifice:}
