Notes About The Poem

JESUS, HIMSELF, said that only GOD, HIS FATHER is GOOD.

Goodness of the Lord

Goodness of the Lord

The goodness of the Lord
if you choose to believe will certainly bless your heart,
thinking upon this God of love 
and upon His Spirit of whom He chose to impart.

We can think on His tender mercies
His loving kindness to,
His faithfulness, meekness, patience and love
only to mention a few.

His goodness is a continual blessing
it flows from the Master’s hand,
so freely coming down from Heaven
upon us who are like a dry and thirsty land.

He sends the rain upon the evil and 
upon His righteous ones to,
it shows the heart of this God we serve
and what we can expect Him to do.

Our God even sees a small little sparrow
that falls from earth’s  majestic sky,
so we can truly believe that He will notice
the hurts of His children and when we begin to cry.

Jesus, there is no one like You,
and, Your face I can hardly wait to behold,
but for now, I thank You for Your absolute goodness
and Your Word for of You I’ve been told.
