While researching the life and legacy of Roger Williams, Karen Petit has increased her knowledge about the grace of God. In December 2015 and January 2016, she wrote this poem:
Freedom to Worship God
Our Lord’s so strong, he really could
Just pick us up and make us act
Like perfect people being good
In settings broken or intact.
Instead, we’re free to choose our acts
And free to run on different tracks.
At times, our choices may be wrong,
But prayerful hearts will help us learn
The better paths, both short and long.
Our Lord and Savior’s loving grace
Erases sin and helps us turn
Our feet to run a peaceful track.
If souls and love to Jesus race,
Our ties to Him will stay intact.
