God put it all together
then he sat back and watched
as we all too humanly
preceded to tear it apart
he must have thought his all
knowing eyes to be failing him
when he witnessed just what we had done
there surely must be something more he
could do so he lovingly sent his only
son
and what did we foolishly do
why, we destroyed his beloved son too
and for this God must have openly wept
while his wonderful son a promise to us
all he faithfully kept
that we would never perish
he who ever so believeth in him
shall have ever lasting life
and that the end is only the beginning
for our valiant attempts of goodness
are our unparalleled strife..........
