Goodness of God

Despite my fatal transgression and sinfulness God redeemed me fully from hell-fire and guilt’s trace Thru His vicarious death showing great love and grace. Worshipful, l exult in His priceless goodness*! At times, I know I disobey God consciously Yet, out of His precious compassion’s opulence He grants me complete pardon of peace-prevalence. Grateful, I trust His goodness-bounty constantly! With my self-willed haughtiness’ stubborn reaction Creating a chasm wide away from my God… He still reaches out to me with His mercy’s nod. Humbled, I submit to His goodness’ direction. Even if I try to depart from God’s design Which is actually called spiritual mockery His divine impetus pulls me to victory. Repentant, I seek His goodness, saying “I’m Thine.” Midst my silken vanity and carnality God gives faith; frees me from worldly entanglement To adorn me with virtue-laden ornament. Blessed, I serve Him by His goodness’ purity. *Isaiah 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
