Gratuitous

Thank You for your Loving "Way",
And Joyous "Sacrifice".
We couldn't LIVE without it...
(Our sin did not suffice!)
Bearing Mankind's suffering,
You set the "caged bird" Free-
Relieving Hell's oppression,
And tossing out the key!
Help us "Conquerors" through the night,
To stay the demon drive;
Resisting "avarice" as YOU did...
So we each can Thrive!
Without Your LOVE - we'd all be "dead"
(And that thought chills my bones.)
I Cherish daily Your Sweet Word,
Which Guides Straight to Your Throne!
