' State of Grace '

There is no State of Grace
Let The MapQuest Show
There is no State of Grace
 If Found Too Far Below:

The Country on The HighWay
The Continent on The Hills
Or Kingdom in Clouds of  Heaven’s Bay
Or  UniverseVille

There’s no Express-Praise, City Love-Lane Around
Nor Narrow Road, into a Full-Faith, Truth-Track-Town
Nor National Boulevard, to Hallelujah Glory Bound
Or  Global Interstate, Where State of Grace Can Be Found…

… There is no State of Grace
Let The Landmarks Show
There is no State of Grace
… unless You Go…

Up into The Mountain, Pass The Knowledge Tree
Get on Humble Avenue and Knee…
Then, go thru Trial-Run… Look Out Point and None
You’ll See, They Can’t Block Your Way Beneath The Son…

There, You’ll Find, The State Of Grace, and Welcome From…
There, You’ll Find:

The State of Grace, Kingdom Come…

MoonBee (what an interesting name!) I think I may have visited your "State" several times at the ocean AND the mountains...your stuff is great! Why no comments yet? You must be a new member? I'm sure many more are yet to come...Thanks for the comment on 'Redneck" ...Hope it tickled that funny-bone of yours. Best of all luck... Tim
