God's Thoughts Towards His Own - Jeremiah 29: 11

The Lord of heaven looks upon us
from His lofty perch up on high
there He thinks about us down here
for His thoughts to us do fly

God knows every one of His thoughts
not one of them does He forget
they are all full of His love and mercy
collected up for our God’s blessed net

These thoughts are all of His peace
that God conveys to His own
not one thought of evil at all
for He gave His son them to atone

In all of this God has His purpose
that for His people this peace to receive
so God would give an expected end
to those who did truly believe

( Jeremiah  29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.)
