For By Grace Are You Saved

 
Always remember God’s displayed grace;
His marvelous love in conveyed grace.

Be ever mindful of life you’ve spanned,
and days your anxiety delayed grace.

Caged by fear and unable to stand,
set free by God and His unswayed grace.

Blessings now yours from God’s good hand,
seen in the glory of  arrayed grace.

Armor of light was what He had planned;
victory came from His cached grace.

Author’s Note: A Ghazal is a poem that is made up like an odd numbered chain of couplets, where each couplet is an independent poem. It should be natural to put a comma at the end of the first line. The Ghazal has a refrain of one to three words that repeat, and an inline rhyme that precedes the refrain. Lines 1 and 2, then every second line, has this refrain and inline rhyme, and the last couplet should refer to the authors pen-name. The rhyming scheme is AA bA cA dA eA etc.
