Our Single Boast

 Jeremiah 9:23-24

This is what the LORD says:

 "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom,

 nor the strong man in his strength, 

nor the wealthy man in his riches.

But let him who boasts boast in this, 

that he understands and knows Me, 

that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, 

justice and righteousness on the earth--

for I delight in these things," declares the LORD.

I Will Boast (only in the cross)

The only goodness we can boast about or claim or laud

Is possible and only, always about and from God

The evil that exists is from the subtil serpent, pride

It mocks the Rock of Christendom; Jesus Christ crucified

…and resurrected. Victorious over death and hell

The only goodness we can boast is God’s great love to tell

Because God, rich in mercy gave His Son to pay sin's debt

God’s goodness is our single boast; oh, may we ne’er forget

 Evil people are evil because they do not have/know Jesus.

Evil leaders are evil because they fail to recognize their Leader

and the one who loves them and would forgive them if they repented

and believed on He who gives everlasting life and Heaven

in place of death and hell.

Let's pray that the love of God would become a reality to our godless leaders

and everyone who does not know the truth that sets us free

and pray, lights love's ceaseless fire on the altar of our hearts.
