by grace alone

many sins and vices
i could not leave behind
though everything i tried

the anguish became
too much to bear
still i doggedly defied

if i couldn't do it
then no-one could
so was i filled with pride

they say pride comes
before the plummet
this was not so for me

i had to fall and fall
and fall yet again
to finally be set free

there was nothing i
could ever say or do
to change the course of fate

i had to fall upon my knees
and pray to be relieved
of the stubborn will to fight

it is by grace and
grace alone that i have
come to know the light
