Love or Hatred
The world is full of hatred,
hatred of the God of love;
righteousness and truth despised;
rejected is God’s Son.
Self becomes one’s chosen god,
to decide what’s right and wrong.
When self is king and captain,
forfeited is the soul.
In the tumult, God is urging
to follow His direction.
In Him there is no stain or spot
spoiling His perfection.
Everything He made was “very good”:
the sky, earth, and seas.
Each little bird flying by
calls us to believe.
This God so loved, He gave His Son
to suffer in our place.
He turns us from our Godless ways
and draws us by His grace.
How can I praise God enough
for all He’s done for me.
I’ll live for Him, forsaking sin,
His way of love, I’ll heed.
