Grief In Hope

GRIEF IN HOPE God has declared His righteousness Among the nations He is not double mouthed or hearted He has said that the wages of sin is death. Jesus, God’s Son, pure and righteous, Offered up Himself for us in death This He did and satisfied Fully, God’s righteous anger So now in Jesus we have redemption For through His death we are justified. Now God is no longer angry at us But He requires repentance An acknowledgement that we have sinned And being justified, to ask- A plea for divine mercy. This is all that stands in the gap Of total restoration from death to life We have been bought and paid for fully But still we struggle to remain enslaved. This is the hope God has in us That we all would come to repentance But this is the grief in this hope That man been free remains in chains Refusing to surrender to The Emancipation ‘Proclammator’. Believe therefore and plough your hearts The deed is done The door is open Why not walk in and claim the prize Of those who surrendered and did the will Of Him who ‘swallowed the bullet’ for us?
