All That Really Matters Is God Poem by Gert Strydom

All that really matters is God
and although the world is totally rotten
nothing can make His atoning sacrifice in vain
or the love that does protect in every commandment

and His mercy is incomprehensible wonderful
where He did not spare His own life as a ransom,
as a mere human did forsake His omnipotence
and I do follow Him although my life is in disorder,

as all that remains is how genuine His love is
and to the struggle of every day He does bring meaning
to help me find my way through the dark world
and when I do fall next to the road He gives forgiveness.
