Our God is the only God.
He gives breath in the morning and rest at night.
-He brings the sun to its warming work and soothes the earth with its daily retreat.
He lays his hand of mercy on those who have rejected his presence.
-He protects the souls of those loyal.
For his name's power grows when he shows mercy
-and the faithful trust him through their pain.
Our God is the only God.
He gives freely from his abundance and his heart is open to all.
-He brings the rains of catharsis and the thirsty gain strength from his waters.
He lays his Child of Promise on the splintered altar of Redemption.
-He cleanses the hands of the guilty.
For his Son is given in agony
-while the faithless targets drive the spikes.
Our God is the only God.

That is a beautiful piece, Alan! thanks for sharing!
Very nice!
Thank you, nephew! In the hurry of today you helped me focus on the eternal.
That is great! It needs to be set to music.
Merry Christmas, Gable's!
Needs to be read as a responsive reading at church, too. Why don't you talk to Jerome about that?
Tammie, thanks.
Danny, thanks for stopping by.
Aunt Apryl, can't wait to see you in a week or so.
Deborah, I may have to hand it over to some of you musically talented people.
Keith, that might be cool. We'll see what Jerome thinks.
Just beautiful! We want to read much more!!!
Alan,
When I read it aloud I hear the voice of your dad. What a joy to hear it again! "It'll preach.!"
Keep it up. Happy New Year Gables.
Carlin
