Poem: On God's Predestination

How great is the God of truth
Who ordains men for mercy and wrath
Old people and the youth
Must remember God appoints the path

We are only pots of clay
The Potter chooses what He will make
His Glory will display
His plan will never make a mistake

He ordains the wicked man
To an everlasting punishment
Before the world began
And justly gives not grace to repent

We who are chosen by grace
Behold God’s love and severity
We must humbly embrace
That we should receive such charity

Not because of our good deed
For we have forfeited God’s favor
For He never had need
Of mankind to give us a Savior

God cannot author sin
For He is absolutely holy
Men are sinners within
And are fully culpable wholly

So we must win the lost souls
This is how God gathers the elect
Even as He controls
And keep in mind why some will reject
