A Poetic Summary of Grace

There was once a span of time before stars, angels and men

when GOD sat alone on His Throne.

With careful thought He weighed the plot

to build our universal home.

Love must be seen—to serve must be held

by all who make their home in His realm.

Only by this can creatures have bliss

and safe shall they be from harm.

But then came the one who was first in the realm

next to the GOD of heaven.

He used his free will to bring death and a chill

and all who oppose him he kills.

But GOD knew the choice that many would pursue

that leads away from Him.

To undo the curse that brought tears and loss

GOD gave up His throne and went to the Cross.

A plan He devised before stars and skies

to restore eternal life anew.

For only as a man could GOD create the span

to reunite our lives with His.

To conquer deaths grip He chose not to sip

from the fountain of sin that plunders.

Death had to set Him free and as the Father of you and me

we are to share in His Thunder.

Once delivered and freed we’ll never choose greed

to obtain the blessings and riches.

For no greater wealth will ever be felt

than Love that descended from heaven.
