There, standing between disaster and hope
Stands a great black cloud, swirling, angry
And it represents the challenge we all face
Take a cowards way out, hang by the rope
Or suffer wounds, death, poison, gangrene
So that others might live, and then embrace
The chance to live and taste forgiveness
Or better yet, to forgive and taste grace
The true savior of all humans
Kindness unearned
In a world that spurns
Anything that isn't purchased
With a tangible price
But there was one sacrifice
That allows the reward of grace
