The Good News made the people,
Enemies because of you;
They believed not the Gospel,
And stories of Christ as true.
By choice of God they are dear,
Because of their ancestors;
And He is always sincere,
To the one who sequesters.
God never changes His mind,
When He is giving out gifts;
For He is gentle and kind,
Inspiration that uplifts.
You disobeyed God in the past,
But He is humbled through grace;
The bygones do not outlast,
In feeling His sweet embrace.
Each of us has disobeyed,
God is merciful to them;
If they regret if they strayed,
And then God will not condemn.
God has placed you in prison,
For your disobedience;
But legal is through His Son,
Advocate for your defense.
Riches, knowledge and wisdom,
Are way too deep to explain;
Understanding His Kingdom,
Can easily break the chain.
Who does know how the Lord thinks?
Who could be His adviser?
Like what someone eats and drinks,
That sees John the Baptizer.
Who gave the Lord anything,
In which the Lord must pay back;
The changes that it will bring,
In what most people do lack.
Everything is from Him,
By as well as forever;
Glory in building His vim,
That will last and not sever.
