Being Saved is a Gift of God – v2


We think we must earn everything
self-made people, relying on ourselves
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
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,
part of God’s plan,
a gift for you and me
