Ode to God #2



Oh, God, I cherish thee.
As the tide changes,
So does the Spirit arranges.
You give us grace.

Oh, God, I cherish thee.
Like the change of the seasons,
You love us for all the right reasons.
You give us grace.

Oh, God, I cherish thee.
You give me reasons for glee,
And Your love covers me like a tree.
You give us grace.

Oh, God, I cherish thee.
Like a new bulb, You’re bright,
And You give us light.
You give us grace.

Oh, God, I cherish thee.
You sent Your only Son,
What He did can’t be undone.
You give us grace.

Oh, God, I cherish thee.
From death to life we receive,
If only we believe.
You give us grace.
