Poetry

---

God has not dealt with us after our sins,
Nor rewarded us for the iniquities within;
For as the Heaven is high above the earth,
Great is His mercy more than we are worth;
So as far as the east spans from the west,
He removes transgressions for to be blest;
As a father is compassionate to his child,
So to the Lord to who fears and is defiled;
Compassion is the key what God gives,
When He looks upon our sin and forgives;
He deals with our agony and our pain,
As well as helping our strength to regain;
All of this is possible only if we admit,
To the guilt and shame that we commit;
When we hold onto conceit and pride,
That builds up a barrier deep inside;
We need to tear down our barricade,
That our sinful thoughts have made;
Open up your heart unlock the door,
Allowing God's healing power to cure.
