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
