Sinned and fallen short

Our lives damned
the measure of our walk
all of us dross
failures in our faith

Yet each of us earn
wages of God’s grace
lifted from the depths
to see God face to face

Healed by the cross
though all have sinned,
fallen short, yet all restored
by the grace of the risen Christ
