It is by Grace we have been
saved and not by doing
so that no ego can boast.
The ego simply has no
ground on which
to stake a claim.
No idea can claim Truth.
No orthodoxy can
define The Path.
No experience
sublime or painful
is permanent.
Only Grace, that river of
life that so wants to carry us into
the future, can heal.
Only Grace, that solvent of love
that would dissolve all barriers,
can apply the salve to our brokenness.
Only Grace whose poetry whispers
groans beyond our knowing
can point the way.
And Grace is here; Oh Yes!—
just below our feet,
like a flowing river.
And in the Sabbath Pause
we can rest in her currents
and know it is true, Amazing as it is:
'Tis Grace that brought
us safe thus far
and Grace will lead us home.
