John Calvin - God's Man 1509-1564

John Calvin one I greatly admire a man God set apart in His will turning His mind and heart and by His spirit full He did fill This man once obedient to Rome now transformed by Christ His king for he was indeed God's man purposing glory for God to bring Although born a French man he was to be Geneva's own son reforming the Swiss capital by God's truth the reformation really had begun To be this man would be great spreading forth God's gospel sound impacting Europe for many centuries but able to stay humbly heaven bound To live and stay among such beauty Switzerland is my favourite land would feel so privileged and honoured if God had made this His will to stand AUTHOR NOTES:I am content to be who I am but if I could have been anyone else in history it would be the great Geneva reformer John Calvin (1509-1564), so thought I would write some thoughts on this hero of the faith.
