How Strong is Grace?

...


How long the lines would be
elongating trails of bruised heels standing
waiting
If you could heal us all
wouldn't there be masses like that in Galilee
if you could feed us all
as hunger exhumes these bodies
from eternal grounds
to glean in the field of Boaz
beholding a lover and an inheritance
after the wheat...

Oh the crowds, looking for healing from the broken mind
shredded by objects of their faith that masked the reality
of false hope
would we not all speak in tongues to find the language
of your sanity
perhaps of your reasoning
beyond our literature
how many hearts would come
if you slayed the hate and bitterness, the loneliness
the hunger and the sickness
like you slayed your own son

But you say no, come without earthly promise
in sickness or death or isolation or hunger
come
without the inheritance of provision for your fleshly needs
or desires
my grace is sufficient
my life is enough
I think that is when most of us have fallen away oh God
to gain possession of our own meaning and purpose
to live life this way

We scream, give us our inheritance
of our mortal desires and needs!
Which seems never enough anyhow
as we mock the souls before you in faith living without,
saying 'How cruel your God!'

But how I know the saints
they are beloved
they are my lost brothers and sisters
resting on your wisdom of eternity
and your promise of death no more

I have tasted your blood
it is instilled within me
even after falling away
there is no hope otherwise
where else do I go?
You hold life and I do not

Am I am Judas ready to plunder?
Or a Peter ready to acknowledge
my awful state of cowardice
and that I am in my flesh
and in my hunger
and in my loneliness

What hope is for me?
in this state
how much does grace cover?
in this state
How powerful is your love?
in this state
And do you have mercy for those
in this state?

How great are you
I need to know
because if I were you...
well if I were you...

Where is my father and what does he think?
What can he actually do
to save me
from myself and my own ignorance and will?
