There Is A Call - 3 Poem by Bill Grace

There is a call
Deeper than the flesh that holds us captive
There is a call.

There is a loyalty
Deeper than the bounds of time and place
There is a loyalty.

There is amidst the fear of missing life
A deeper life than poet pens can glean
There is a deeper life.

There is a sin
More than all the words
Our best minds muster to name
There is a sin.

There is a freedom
Challenged by those great powers
That tell us that we must buy and buy and buy
There is a freedom.

There is a love
Which Christ brings to us
More powerful than the atom's flash
That disciplined in ways of faith
Can warm a sullen world - grant HOPE -
Where Spring's horizon can but barely beckon.

There is His call of love.
