You Are So Good To Me, My God

My God, You are so good* to me… Despite my sinfulness and selfishness You gave Yourself to me with Your loving kindness To save me from hell and give me eternal life’s fullness. Such I can’t fathom; thus, let me acknowledge Your graciousness! You are so merciful to me… Though I disobey You consciously You always grant me forgiveness completely And cleanse me from my unrighteousness fully. Such I can’t explain; thus, let me forsake my sins with Your help totally! You are so patient with me… Along my stubbornness’ reaction You keep working for my restoration While convicting me of my transgression. Such I can’t understand; thus, let me yield to Your direction! You are so gracious to me… Even if I depart from Your design You pull me constantly toward what’s divine Upholding me so that in frustration I won’t resign. Such I can’t assess; thus, let me follow You as I’m Thine! You are so faithful to me… Amidst my infidelity to our covenant together You unceasingly assure me of Your care forever Whatever happens, You’ll leave nor forsake me never. Such I can’t describe; thus let me trust You against doubts that bother! You are so long suffering to me… While I appear arrogant and unyielding You teach me humility’s virtue as rewarding As exemplified by Christ Who died on the cross bleeding. Such I can’t measure; thus, let me bear earthly condescending! You are so compassionate to me… Notwithstanding my service that’s unacceptable You correct me of lack of prayer and vanity-stumble To reach Your holy standards, making my stewardship fruitfully stable. Such I can’t repay; thus, let me live for You truly as Your Spirit does enable! *Psalm 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. April 20, 2018
