THE EVERLASTING MERCY OF GOD

The mortality of Man is most sobering;

It is compared to things that are not lasting.

Grass may look green and beautiful;

But it dies and the land is drab and awful.

 

The beautiful flowers of the field look appealing;

But the brevity of their life is truly appalling!

The brevity of life and its obvious frailty;

They must cause us to fear our human mortality!

 

In contrast, we have the LORD’s everlasting mercy;

But to whom would this be given ultimately?

To those who fear the LORD would mercy be given;

God watches over them tenderly from Heaven.

 

To those who have learned to trust the LORD:

These would be given the great mercy of God.

To those who keep His commandments to do them;

The LORD’s mercy would ensure they are not overwhelmed!
