John 3:16
God's promise to the world means
that we only need to believe
He gave his only begotten Son
and we eternal life receive.
Some parents know the anguish
of losing a beloved child.
Yet our God did that for us,
we sinners so defiled.
How many of us have thanked him
on our young or aged knees,
for the joy he has promised?
What have we done to please?
If we believe in Jesus
and profess His Holy Name,
our God has promised to us
and eternal life to claim.
This life is a short journey.
You'll know that when you're old.
Read the verse, believe his promise.
It's the way to stay well souled.
