Ujamaa Christian Poetry
Grace
beyond measure
Mercy's Gracious Gift
uplifts our weariness
like wings in
unseen drafts
soaring in
Unity's cooperation
intuitively knowing
that it is all
unmerited
O if we could only
always wait in
hope-filled anticipation
spreading our wings
confident that
we too shall soar
that Love surely
comes as the dawn
even though we
sometimes linger with
darkened emotions
battered by storms
often beyond our control in
tests of faithfulness
as those who languished
between the Crucifixion
and the Resurrection
Grace
a mystical balm
assured by
Sacred Oath
learned by repetitions
that we truly can
rely upon the One
who lives within
a Power without
limitations
yet gentle in offering
an immovable Rock
humility's request
removes the
bravado of self-reliance
a deception of our Enemy
rooted in the pride of life
reluctant to let go the
reins of control to the
One who surrendered all
for us so that we
could walk in freedom
secured by Grace
beyond measure
