God's Love Never Fails

God's love never fails

Some live their lives all tangled...
not knowing what's in store
Falling into a drunken stupor...
when they wake they're wanting more

Criminals are getting wiser...
as innocents lie in their blood
God sees every little thing they do...
and HE remembers the flood


Chorus
And so HE gave- HIS only-begotten
to save us from this sinful jail...
If only- we repent and obey HIM
That's when...God's love never fails


There are fatherless children...
needy widows suffer too
They cry out to powers of heaven...
And HE knows just what to do


Some women kill their unborn child...
then dejectedly look away
They don't know if they're forgiven...
scared to face their judgement day


Chorus
And so HE gave- HIS only-begotten
to save us from this sinful jail...
If only- we repent and obey HIM
That's when...God's love never fails


Some steal to make a living...
train their kids to do the same
But, they don't know about their Maker
they don't even know HIS name

Greedy men who love their money...
They'd sell their mother for a dime
Sunday's come and go while they're on their yacht
For God there just isn't time

Chorus
And so HE gave- HIS only-begotten
to save us from this sinful jail...
If only- we repent and obey HIM
That's when...God's love never fails

Chorus
And so HE gave- HIS only-begotten
to save us from this sinful jail...
If only- we repent and obey HIM
That's when...God's love never fails

That's when...God's love never fails
That's when...God's love never fails
repeat and fade

Brandy Nicole Date: 7/25/2019 10:47:00 PM Oh my!!! You have given me chills with these words of truth. So sad indeed. God gave His Only Son, to die for ALL. He paid the price, as He took on our sins. He gave His Life. His Love is Unconditional. And soooo many in the World could care less. "For God there just isn't time" Exactly what many think and this is how they behave. Still- God's Love Never Fails. As He doesn't anyone to be lost. Knock, and He will open the door. ~ Brandy Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 7/26/2019 8:15:00 AM Thanks for commenting on this one especially Brandy, it needed to be said. Many don't want to accept the truth that we cannot continue living our lives doing as we please even if our conduct displeases God. Those who do the will of God will be saved, not those who insist on never changing to please him. Thanks again!

CayCay Jennings Date: 7/25/2019 6:57:00 PM Spirit sent these succinct flowing lines to you intending that you share them. They are divine. I truly LOVE the rhythm and flow, it is spot on and captivating to read aloud or silently. We who are visited by our muse at the strangest of times are meant, I believe, to put words together for others to read. Everyone has such a gift inside them and its a shame man makes 'career boxes' for us to climb into rather than sharing our labor of love. All the best ... CayCay Login to Reply John Hamilton Date: 7/25/2019 10:10:00 PM Thanks Cay Cay for the brave first comment, I think some may be reluctant to comment, not wanting to appear judgemental, but hey when the spirit moves ya, ya gotta go with it. I remember a poem a while ago over 1000 views no comments strange huh!
