God Forgives Poem by Walterrean Salley
God Forgives
Put all man's failures in a heap,
And then they would exceed the skies.
But God's great mercy far exceeds
The sum of all man's sinful pride.
For all the heart can think, or do,
Or dream in its deceptive mode—
He has a plan for me and you:
Forgiveness (a divine code) .
It is a mystery divine
How God forgives our failures all
And beckons one with love sublime
Tho' few dare answer His clear call.
Oh lovely deity Divine
I take thy mercy to be mine.
Beautiful, Salley. You capture one of the essentials of almost every religion in these wonderful verses
WS, you have been convinced But God’s great mercy far exceeds The sum of all man’s sinful vice. It may be true as well, but we have to be responsible for our own acts.. Thank you for sharing
