GRACE


The Son of God came to save that which was lost,
To redeem our soul from the power of the grave.
Where the prisoners of death must rest together
Except for the spirits of the kind and brave.

The preaching of the cross is ignored by fools,
And sinners who are unable to conform.
By grace we are saved as a gift from our Lord,
Who wipes tears from the faces that mourn.

By learning, loving, working, teaching, and prayer,
We submit our years as a tale to be told.
The survival of life is our pilgrimage,
As we tackle each challenge both young and old.

No one can be sure of how long they will last,
Though all have a choice of whom they choose to be.
Warmongers, adulterers, thieves or saints,
Everyone must some day bow down before thee.

From dust we were made and shall return,
After life has brought us to our earthly end.
Though all must walk in the shadow of death
The righteous are promised they will rise again.

Tom,

Amen. It is a most beautiful promise and I do look forward to that very special day when we shall rise and see Him in the sky and also see our loved ones who have gone on in the Lord once again. God bless you and thank you once again for sharing.

How thankful I am to be saved by grace and hold the hope of being heaven bound.  Yet it's painful to know many still lack that understanding.  Thanks for sharing your lines here.

God bless

      Rae

Those who love god and country love my poems.
Those  who hate god and country hate my work.
