Rising in Unity # 907

Rising in Unity (Ascent by Grace) In life's quieter corners, where struggles often sway, The world urges rise through conflict, clashing along the way. Yet, Christ, with hands so gentle, unfolds another plan, Rising by lifting others, the essence of a divine span. “Repent, for heaven's near,” echoes ancient and profound, Not just a call, but a chorus, resounding all around. Inviting hearts to lighten, preparing souls for grace, In the realm of the repentant, a new light we embrace. Storms rage, fierce and daunting, aiming to bend and sway, Yet they serve as canvases for power displayed. In our weakest moments, through storms we are taught, The strength of God in us, which our own cannot be sought. Upon the humble cross, where sacrifice was met, Faith teaches us of fears we should forget. For He who stooped to conquer, in obedience lay His claim, Exalted now forever, the highest name to proclaim. Let us journey together, in unity, not alone, Through storms, sharing stories, where grace is shown. Guiding like lighthouses, on shores firm and bright, Our lives, bound by love, illuminate the night. Together we ascend, not by might, but by grace, In lifting each other, we find our true place.
