How Great Is Our God?
dedicated to Jim and Carol Burden from KY

God is generous, God is gentle, God is grace
Our guile, our gossip, our greed he forgives
goodwill and integrity he gives in their place.
All glory goes to God for his gifts, his genius
God is guide, God is guardian, God is grace.
So grumbling and griping like gloating are gone
as we grasp his goals and gaze on his face;
arrogance and ingratitude no longer gangrene
that gags and strangles our gospel embrace.
Grateful to be forgiven, eagerly we forgive
God is good, God is great, God is grace.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
