If Grace Is A Gift**How many prayers would I have to pray, to make it to heaven come judgement day? How many songs would I have to sing, for redemption's grace to bring? What mission do I make, so my soul I not forsake? What charity do I serve, heaven's rewards to partake? How many good deeds are required and more, before I've finally evened eternity's score? What church should I attend, to rightly make amends? How often should I go before heaven I can know? How much time should I spend with the sick, before my salvation is sure to stick? How much suffering must I endure, before I've earned Heaven's reward for sure? What will it take to meet my maker face to face, and know I've received enough grace? If grace is a gift that purchases my soul free, then why must I work so hard to be close to Thee? Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of God." Susan Hebert Ajaz copyright 2003 poetrypublisher.com/sajaz |
