Justified by Grace

Oh, thank heaven,
no, really, thank heaven
that we are
justified by grace,
not as an excuse, or a
get out of jail free card;
but as a wondrous fact
of the risen Christ,
the one perfect soul
saved us from the stricture,
the constriction, the impossibility
of the law (finely slices, stacked),
saved us from our sin
and gave us new life
