This is beautifully worded, and your rhyme is excellent, especially the internal rhyme. This is so reassuring, especially the line "it's only grace from God that counts. Even though you are imperfect, you can always call on God for help. judi

Comment from John Ciarmello
This is a profound poem of trusting Him that if repentance is the answer, he will forgive. However, the sin's damage remains and may be afflicted on whomever until the end. I will have to ponder more. Best, JohnC.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
For years I thought "Don't take the name of the Lord your God in vain" meat do not swear. I have since learned, and your poem validates it, that it means don't call upon the Lord when you don't need him or when it isn't called for.
Very nice tribute to our Lord and Savior.

Comment from Anne Johnston
"Though you may pray and plead all day in any other name,
you ask in vain though clouds may rain, none other wipes sin's blame."
Your words are so true. Jesus said He was the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one could come to the Father except through Him. There is no other name given under heaven though which we can be saved.

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
Such true words-arranged so carefully by design in rhyme and meter to produce a worthy witness of faith in the One alone who can save, and I'm always glad to know that Jesus did not want any to perish. Excellent poem!

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Grace is given freely to those who believe. God's love for us made sure of that. I like the way you compared it to nature. That was a good idea and one everybody could understand. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Susan Newell
Roy,
This is a well written, powerful poem about the nature of both faith and grace. It can all be very confusing to non-believers, but it is really so simple. But add the relationship between faith and works and it becomes more complex. (James 2:18, 2:20, 2:26.) If we accept grace as a reality, that bolsters our faith and it is that faith that makes us want to behave in a Godly manner.

You are such a very accomplished rhythmic poet.
I love your wisdomy messages.
When down ,
The only way is up.
That alone is a ladder to climb up
Like Jacob.
All you need now is a donkey's quarter.
