The Great Forgiver

Isaiah 66:12-14

God will extend peace like a flowing river,
As His blessings flow as a great forgiver;
Glory of the Gentiles as a flowing stream,
Treated like a child with a radiant gleam;
Like a mother hen God will give comfort,
Hidden under the wings for peril to avert;
Upon seeing this your heart will rejoice,
Your bones will thrive to uplift your voice;
As the hand of the Lord shall be well know,
Towards all His servants of not being alone;
While His enemies to experience His wrath,
For straying away from the righteous path.
God reaches out to us with arms open wide,
As an open invitation for in Him to abide;
The great forgiver looks at us as children,
Who has strayed and wants us back again;
To those who accept comfort and peace,
Whoever refuses a torment never cease;
All you need is the faith for to recognize,
A wisdom that will flow to make you wise.
