ELECT OF GOD
In life there may be trials and tribulations;
But the heart need not lose its jubilation.
One may lose possessions and even family,
And the heart is aggrieved in pain’s reality.
How wonderful to understand the doctrine of “Election;”
We may be weak and sinful, but we are chosen with affection.
God, in His profound foreknowledge planned Salvation;
He planned and sent Jesus Christ to give us Redemption.
The Spirit of God was there to give sanctification;
He will keep us in His power and offer protection.
The doctrine of Election must bring encouragement;
We need never give in to fear and discouragement.
The doctrine of Election helps us to draw nearer,
To the LORD whom we may call “Our Father.”
He who planned our Salvation with such affection;
He would surely grant us much-needed protection.
