God makes everything come out right;
he puts victims back on their feet.
He showed Moses how he went about his work,
opened up his plans to all Israel.
God is sheer mercy & grace;
not easily angered, he’s rich in love.
He doesn’t endlessly nag & scold,
nor hold grudges forever.
He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve,
nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.
As high as heaven is over the earth,
so strong is his love to those who fear him.
And as far as sunrise is from sunset,
he has separated us from our sins.
As parents feel for their children,
God feels for those who fear him.
He knows us inside & out,
keeps in mind that we’re made of mud.
Men & women don’t live very long;
like wildflowers they spring up & blossom,
But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly,
leaving nothing to show they were here.
God’s love though, is ever & always,
eternally present to all who fear him,
Making everything right for them & their children
as they follow his Covenant ways
& remember to do whatever he said.
