Notes About The Poem

Forever Grants

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 
John 3:16 of the King James Bible

Exalting GOD midst omnipotence-height 

   my spirit basks in worshipful delight

      grateful to His endless love of grace-might

         reaching down to me with infinite light

            saving wretched soul from eternal fright

               in bottomless hell of grievous wrath-blight

                  through Christ’s boundless mercy to heaven’s flight

                     marked by everlasting life, indeed bright 

                        for faith’s limitless deeds against pride blight...

                           ... the Lord’s unbroken covenant stamps "right."

I cannot think of anything more endless than the love of God for his children. Eternity in heaven with Him will make it clearer; but I can never comprehend such love. Great write, Beata. Super monorhyme and use of the word bank.

Monorhyme. No-fuss at all. Beautiful.
