Giving Godly Grace
Giving Godly Grace
Giving Godly grace calls us to walk
In God’s sweet embracing footsteps of mercy’s tears,
Vital in vivacity grace births the soul of eternal vitality,
Infused gratuity – no small tokens but tips of profound charity –
Gracious orisons from the Master’s overflowing favor.
Grace glimpses Genesis’ handwriting spoken - it is good -
Oblation in offertory pushing aside offense askance -
Dawning grace glazes gates locked by incense taken
Lifting us up, like a Samaritan lifts the wounded from shared dust
Yielding pride’s stubbed toes of smug rightness to yesterday.
Grace - gift of perfection intoned in pure harmony –
Raised relief, benediction’s signature written
An apple of God’s eye handed to us in ribbons of forgiveness,
Consecrated on two wooden beams at the edge of oblivion,
Endowed with eternal favor – gift for us to exchange again and yet again.
