grace begins with
sorrow, repent and turn away.
The Undeserved given gifts
received in pain and joy.
Pain at the separation,
Joy at the renewal of connection
and relation.
//
Grace begins with reaching out
hope for reaching back.
//
Grace begins with joy and love,
with bowing and delight,
with faith and hope and trembling,
and in the deepest sight.
Grace begins with blood,
for I am dearly bought
