Oh, not that slough again... we don't want to go there, again...

So, coming from a reformed background, you may appreciate this
concoction which another reformed background guy gave to me - kinda
cute.

btw, which cemetary?

Arminian grace! How strange the sound
Salvation hinged on ME
I once was lost then turned around
Was blind then chose to see

What "grace" is it that calls for choice
Out of some good within?
The part that willed to heed God's voice
Proved stronger than my sin

Through many ardent gospel pleas
I sat with heart of stone
But then some hidden good in me
Propelled me toward my home

When we've been there ten thousand years
Because of what we've done
We've no less days to sing our praise
Than when we first begun

- Dennis Walter Cochran

My soul is but a spider frail
Held o'er the harsh immortal flame
To what savior can I avail?
Avail to hope in Christ's name
And he shall not reject
For I am his elect
Chosen before the birth
Of this precarious earth
In Christ there's no betrayal
