Beata Agustin Poet Acrostic

Great Escape

Geared by God, greeting gracious glow 
Ready is my spirit for rejuvenation revival
Empowered to exalt Him with praise ecstasy 
Ascending against apprehending arrogance
Triumphant toward thanksgiving trust.

Extricated from exhausting selfish expedition
Settled is my soul, secured by the Saviour
Chained and clasped around His clemency 
Attaining faith-affirmed service approval  
Pursuing heavenly profits, perfectly precious
Exchanging the ephemeral for the eternal*.  

1Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
