A Poem

The dragon's name is GRACE PLUS WORKS; he rules a darkish lair
Where many, saved and heaven-bound, are tempted to despair
"The deed's not done," the dragon snaps, his mouth a lurid grin
"You worthless child, dost thou not know? Salvation lies within!"

The dragon captured me last night and bid me do still more
To gain the love and mercy of the One who saved my soul
The monster spoke and soon the terror of his ghastly lies
Had rid my heart of all its joy, cemented my demise

But Jesus came to rescue me, a mighty, shining Knight
He slew the dragon's evil heart; the cave was filled with light
My Savior took me in His arms, a strong and firm embrace
"My child," he said, "I've paid thy price. Your soul is SAVED BY GRACE."
