Profound Grace
A tree once full of life is now in splinters
Finding its way into our hands and sticking
More fearful of the removal we have to administer
Than a message of blood that is still trickling
Long ago the marks were made in two palms
Not wood but nails in hands and in his feet
Exhausted, overwhelmed, weak yet still calm
Wounds dripping of sins while battered and beat
The sun gave up its light as a candle blown out
The curtain that separated man and God torn
The earth shook the minds of many throughout
Leaving a deeper impression than a crown of thorns
The Old Testament not null, but provided ground
To bloom into the testimony of God's love for us
From knowing our sins by the law to grace unbound
Even when one sinner repents, Angels rejoice in this (Luke 15:10)
Still, it sparks wonder into men from all over
That a man could convert from persecuter to pursuer
Enough to make the most challenging man to turnover
Enough to make a liar into someone that is a doer
A gift freely given and is offered at our fingers
And we are pricked with conviction and questions
Flipping through pages of the offer as it lingers
Would we want an eternity of peace in a life investing?
