In the tapestry of our town, GRM’s customers are woven deep, A community cherished, a promise we keep. We yearn for streets pristine and havens secure, For laughter of children in parks to endure. We dream of commerce thriving, of academia’s rise, Where aspirations soar 'neath boundless skies. In service, we pledge to our kin and our creed, A sanctuary for the lost, for their plight we heed. A bastion for souls shadowed by life’s tempests and trials, We offer a harbor from addiction’s defiles. For minds ensnared, for spirits that wane, We vow a renaissance, a life reclaimed. From the ashes of hardship, new purpose we weave, Transforming the burdened into blessings received. In God’s grace, we labor, in unity, we strive, To foster the fallen, to help hope revive. For in each wayward wanderer, potential untold, A future unfurled, a story retold. As assets, not liabilities, they rise and they blend, God-dependent, contributing, till journey’s end.
In the tapestry of time, an African whisper winds, "If speed is your ally, alone you may find your pace. Yet, for journeys that span the breadth of eons, In unity, we trace our path to grace." At GRM, our pledge is cast in communal stone: To forge alliances with sanctuaries divine, With commerce's might, governance's throne, And every willing soul, whose fates entwine. We stand with the dispossessed, the ones in shadow, Their plight in our hearts, their hopes in our hands. Together, we lift them from the hollow, To stand amidst abundance, on prosperous lands. For it's in collective toil that dreams take wing, In the confluence of spirits that we truly soar. Hand in hand, we'll see the dawn of spring, And in shared strides, reach the farther shore.
In the hallowed halls of GRM, the Gospel’s heralded as divine, A beacon of hope, where life and purpose entwine. Jesus’ mission, a testament of renewal so grand, Bestows upon creation and mankind, a guiding hand. With open arms, we pledge to serve, to uplift and embrace, No soul turned away, in this sanctuary of grace. Beliefs may vary, paths may diverge, yet our promise stands firm, Opportunity for all, as the legal bounds affirm. Guidance drawn from scriptures, wisdom ancient and revered, Yet, taught with a heart of compassion, as Jesus endeared. In every word, in every deed, love and respect we sow, For in the mirror of the Gospel, humanity’s reflection shall glow.
