Since God, So Rich in Mercy

PAD Challenge Day 4: write a 'since' poem

Since God so rich in mercy

Fills the night-sky with new dawn

We ought to trust His Providence

And humbly journey on

And since we are surrounded

With forefathers rich in faith

We ought not spurn the heritage

In which our hope is laid

And since we know that soon this life

Returns from dust to dust

We ought to consider the One

In Whom we ought to trust

And since God, rich in mercy (don't you just love that picture?)

Does not leave us to despair

We ought to fill our lips with praise

And our hearts with prayer

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, Heb. 1:12

But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so very much, 5 that even while we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's special favor that you have been saved!) Eph.2:4-5
