We come to this certainty by grace

We come to this certainty by grace.
As a candle is lit.  Or a blind man sees.
Or a smile appears on a solemn face.
It is a quirky quantum without degrees.
We come to this certainty by grace.

Forget exertions. Forget your pieties.
And all the exhortations in your books.
It does not matter how many times you please.
Faith is given as beauties get their looks.
We come to this certainty by grace.
