We think we must earn everything
believing we are all self-made people,
relying on ourselves alone
with a price on all we do;
how we relate to the world
as if stones on a scale
something to balance
more good than bad
cosmic karma, earning salvation;
yet we don’t understand
that is not part of God’s plan
Being saved is a gift of God
a free gift of heaven
unmerited, pure love,
no price to me and you;
a sacrifice, freely given
how God relates to the world
created from air, from the void
all mercy, compassion;
we must just believe, trust,
that this is part of God’s plan,
a gift for you and me
