W.A.G.G.
By: Tom Wright
1998
We were once but a thought,
but then a reality we became.
Then we needed care,
God, gave us parents and name.
In seeking companionship,
God, gave us a spouse.
When asking for shelter,
God, provided a house.
While man sought friendship,
God, saw our need for love.
We sought a parole,
God, pardoned from above.
Communication we needed,
to, God's, throne in the air.
Of this too He was mindful,
and provided us prayer.
To point us the way,
of a map we had need.
God's, word came forth,
in a Bible to read.
As our last days approach,
some fear the worst.
God, gives living water,
that our soul's not thirst.
When a sacrifice was needed,
God, indeed furnished one.
For his plan of salvation,
it took, Jesus, His Son.
Our life, but a vapor,
from that One supernal.
He then gave us a choice,
whereby it might be eternal.
