State of Grace

bequeath I, as a living sacrifice,                                 
     beseech mercy from my iniquities,                        
          betold yon Calvary He paid the price,               
               bestow afresh trust from antiquities,           
          bare inhibitions and obliquities, 

boost soul midst clemency and gratitude,                    
     behold keen I stayed grasped in rectitude,             
          blessings prevail harmonizing my life,                
               betroth my soul justly in servitude,               
                    beckons me gladly to the afterlife.
