the goodness and mercy of God – v2

What should we tell them

in truth there is only one hope,

the goodness and mercy

the grace of Almighty God

All else a fiction

a grave, an earthen idol,

no nation, no people

is better than the rest

All of us are fallen, mortal

conquered by our sin;

only the sacrifice of Christ

can give us life again

Only the goodness

the mercy of God,

His grace poured upon us

forever, for all time

==========
