| Poetic encounter with reformed theology
Response to my encounter with Reformed theology while in High School. First thing I wrote after being convinced of the doctrines of grace.
"The grace of God more potent than
Any work or deed of man
With wrath to face in grave estate
For all my works deserve this rate
The Hill of Skull, Mount Calvary
On it’s slopes surrendering
The Godhead’s one Incarnate Son
Fully Man and Fully God
Called Elect, from death of sin
All for your name, and then for man
For my soul no work can fill
A gift of God, His choosing will
With desire you wed my heart
A grace from which I cant depart
For rejoice my soul to sing
To live is Christ, to die is gain
When all the saints join in one song
With rendered hearts before Your throne
Still all our words could never frame
Perfect wrath, your saving grace"
