Mercy, Hope and Grace

Mercy has come like early morning dew.
Welcome her gladly; befriend her.
She's here to remove your blindness.
Speak your mind; you won't offend her.
Partake of her lovingkindness;
Imbibe her sweet laughter like wine.

Hope is here as well, and she beckons you;
She sees your soul's indecision.
You've nothing to fear; believe her.
Trust her instincts and her vision.
She'll fade now and then; don't leave her.
Your unraveled prayers she'll entwine.

Grace appears! She has joined the other two.
Their table is set; it's boundless.
Her free gift of love you'll treasure;
Your payment efforts are groundless.
Her merits you'll never measure.
She waits at the table; recline.
