No Sin Required to Have Grace Abound
(Romans 6:1 and 2, that funny, funny Paul)
Grace
I want to write about it
Maybe because I need it
I don’t know how the mealtime
Prayer became “grace”
Because grace is momentary?
We ask for your blessing now, because
We’ll only need it
‘Til the food is gone
Grace is a surprise
And, as I’ve said, like a bird
It flies, it alights, it sings
It takes off again
Grace goes where it is needed
Costs nothing, and it saves
Sometimes we do get
What we didn’t pay for
Grace cuts through works
Though doesn’t undervalue them
(show me faith without works)
Like Jesus, grace provides means
And a way to God
Though discipleship is not required
When you receive grace,
Nothing is required
But a hope (a hope) for better living
And sometime or no time
To respond to
What goes quietly below
A plea for faith
An argument to hear
If not, then not
Grace will help us, anyway
That is its nature
And its calling
You can hear in every bird
Even the ostrich through the sand
(I don’t think ostriches really do that
I can look that up
I did: they don’t)
