A sea of grace

A sea of grace                                                                                             

Empty your heart of everything
of which you are not certain, said my Lord. 

Then, you will find Me there.
True faith, apparently, comes as a last resort,

resounding in the dark alley you’ve been chased down,
even as you pledged over your shoulder

the undying quality of your faithless love.
It matters little how you got there.

It’s all grace from here on out
as you see that it was always grace,

a sea of grace, where you will be swept along
by the tides until you drown.

O child of God, do you really want
the fate of your soul to be left in your own hands?
