In His Mercy

Isaiah 55:6-10

Seek the Lord while He may still be found,
While He is near let your trumpet sound;
The wicked be forsaken and evil thoughts,
But if he returns, God will erase the blots;
For God will have mercy granting a pardon,
From the shoulders God will lift the burden;
My thoughts are not yours nor are my ways,
As Heaven is higher than earth for praise;
For rain falls just as the snow from Heaven,
Watering seeds for as nourishment is given.
God has neither forsaken us nor abandon,
Because he cares for each and every one;
On the other hand we as His children did,
Not a single one on earth has not backslid;
Everyone during your life has been flawed,
And why come short to the Glory of God;
Rather He is a God of grace and of mercy,
Offering us another chance for to fancy;
Every opportunity as to so that we might,
Be with Him eternally in truth and light.
