Having God's Good Hand Upon Me - Titus 3: 4,5
Looking back having God's good hand
throughout my life, I can testify
of His goodness and mercy
for He's heard my constant cry
A few highlights along the way
being adopted soon after birth
brought up in a loving stable home
God's goodness so full of worth
Always in employment all my years
till early retirement in 2013
God the great provider forever be
His loving hand was always seen
Marriage became my way twice
wedded Jean in '81, such bliss
lost her a year later caused such grief
but Jesus came with a new life of His
Then met Christine and wed '90
look back on happy years so great
seeing the Lord's hand so evident
holding us together on one long date
I've known God's healing hand
in recent years with a powerful touch
firstly prostate cancer came my way
then diabetes came but here I do stand
All of my life I've had bad stammer
at times it's been a real pain
but God's made me content to be still
for He sends His grace to sustain
God is good in all His ways
holding me up no matter my state
where would I be without His care
look forward to passing in heaven's gat
(Looking back on God's goodness throughout my life and his faithfulness to me.)
"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, "
Titus 3: 4,5 (ESV)
