amazement

no
really is
good news

God loves us
and is perfect in everything
and so
perfect in this
the only mitigator
human will
created to be meaningful
to change the spirit
by
affiliation

to alter bodies and all people
as gathered into
interests
and all nations

and so the world outside of Eden
has been laid
not
as a game
though that would be temptation
serpent-like
spoken into ears

and
there is gospel
too
to endure anything with faith
and our version of that love
that made us
even set us on our way
accountable

joy
and peace
and how can that be
but by

amazing love of God
and by degree
what we might live of that
God
self
and others

c l couch


And can it be that I should gain
An int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?
Charles Wesley
