Oh, the kindness of a Holy Lord, poured on those on earth below, <br />As His gracious help is implored, by those here who need Him so, <br />And by others, God goes ignored, for The Lord they do not know, <br />But even these men cannot afford, to continue in the way they go. <br /> <br />God’s goodness extends to everyone, wherever we are in this life, <br />Through His only begotten Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, <br />Available to all men under the sun, to deal with their toil and strife, <br />His kindness follows as they run, the race that leads to eternal life. <br /> <br />It was God who made a sacrifice, by sending His Son to the cross, <br />Paying for all men an eternal price, while making a way for the lost, <br />By that cleansing work of Christ, to purge all sinners of their dross, <br />Preparing for believers a paradise, when life’s final river they cross. <br /> <br />The Lord is the Creator of us all, Maker of all creatures on the earth, <br />Every creature, great and small, and He knew you before your birth, <br />Although we are cursed by the fall, God places on man much worth, <br />And all who hear the trumpet call, Christ shall rapture from the earth. <br /> <br />Extended to each and all of us, is God’s goodness and much more, <br />Saving men from a grave of dust, when they came to Christ as Lord, <br />Extending to Him a simply trust, and God opens up the eternal door, <br />As belief in Christ is the only must, to live with our God forevermore. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©07/2008)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-goodness-of-god-2/
