Grace and Peace


Peace, fleeting as can be,
Like the cotton candy remnant of a beautiful summer day.
Listlessly drifting to and fro amidst a raging sea,
Peace, there must be a way.

Troublesome, the times appear,
With anxiety and doubt commencing from every direction.
Every corner of the subconscious teeming with fear,
Gasping, in search of perfection.

Pride, the reason for stumble,
Mercilessly trapping God’s people in lies and deceit.
As the walls close in and the world begins to crumble,
Begrudgingly, we admit defeat.

Prostrate, we come before the Lord,
From our torturous anguish and transgressions, we plead to depart.
A relationship so fractured and blemished, how could it ever be restored?
Grace, which He wills to impart.

Grace, free as can be,
Meandering with purpose from God on the mount.
Unmerited favor which allows us to become Holy,
Peace, springs plentiful from this fount.
