Poetry Tuesday - "More Grace Than Time"

There are some things you have to say with extra caution. This poem/song is one of those where I think it's necessary to do a wee bit of explaining.

The title and major theme is "more grace than time". When I say that there is more grace than time, in reference to the grace of Jesus, there are two things that I don't mean and one thing that I do.

Two things I do not mean.
1) That if you are not a Christian this all-encompassing, unlimited, completely thorough grace that Jesus died on the cross to offer to those who call Him Lord does not yet apply to you... The song is to be sung and acknowledged from a saved by Jesus perspective. I know that that is blunt, but it's not unchangeable. Jesus came to earth and died a sinner's death for sinners - to save sinners like us and give us grace more bountiful than time.
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9

2) That because of the unquenchable grace of Jesus we should continue to sin. May it never be so. I say that there's more grace of time to exalt Christ, in reverent repentance, for covering the sins I have committed not as an excuse to continue sinning.
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." - Romans 6:1-4

The one thing I do!
1) That "the least of Christ's graces is greater than my greatest sins". That despite my past and the time I have here on earth, Jesus has acted and has placed Himself as a substitute for my sins. His grace is able to make my scarlet sins white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).
"Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 5:18-21

And so after much clarification, and in the humble shadow of powerful scripture, a poem and a song.

More Grace Than Time

I once gave my heart away
When I was much younger than I am today
The truth came down like rain
Slowly falling on my brain, it was lust

I was spoiled from the inside out
All my love perverted in lust and doubt
But most liars best know fact
And I knew Love’s truest act; it saved my soul

Oh I gave it all away
In my sorrows to find
There’s more grace than time
There’s more grace than time

There’s no strength in muscle and bone
There’s no hope in kisses and pleasures throne
So let’s start a mutiny
To live for love in purity, come on you and me!

Oh I gave it all away
In my sorrows I did find
That there is more grace than time
There’s more grace than time

Oh You gave Yourself away
Your stripes to release mine
You gave me more grace than time
You gave me more grace than time
