Grace in the accepting, in the conversion,
in the repentant heart, seeing the failures,
the wrongness of human designs
Saying yes to the offer, the gift, the sacrifice,
relationship once more with the creator,
sharing the cup with the savior, being one
with the divine, as best we can
in that moment of saving
Not by our woks, never by our deeds
We fail, as all the people have failed
We need to grace, the gift, the sacrifice
of the cross, the blessing of Easter
to be brought home, by our opening the gift
and letting him into our hearts
