God’s mercy outweighs His power;
If not, this world will not subsist for an hour.
Whether we deserve that mercy we must ponder
And in false hope we should not wander.
What a variety in God’s creation
It is all beyond description.
God’s hand makes the world a wonderland;
How small and feeble is the human hand!
When we see the wonders of the sky,
When we see the birds that fly,
Our thoughts are lifted from the mundane
To roam for a moment in God’s domain.
The moon is shining, the stars are twinkling,
The thin and woolly clouds are floating.
How beautiful the night sky is!
How wonderful God’s creation is!
God is the creator of heaven and earth;
We owe every thing to Him from our very birth.
We have to serve Him till our last breath.
And share His glory after our death.
Christ had no hidden agenda
Nor did He think of pure propaganda.
His message was for redemption
Of mankind from all perdition.
In Christ’s steps we must follow;
His words will never be hollow.
He said, “I am resurrection and life;”
Without Him we will have no eternal life.
God, the creator, is omnipresent,
He has no future, past and present,
He reigns over the whole universe
And blesses all those who are not averse.
To God we must give adoration,
To elders we must show veneration.
Both require a certain disposition
Which hardly comes from acquisition.
The kingdom of God is everlasting,
But the kingdom of man is never lasting.
Kings change and the boundaries change,
But for the kingdom of God there is no change.
How terrible death will be to a man
Whose vision ends in the earth’s domain!
Nothing that he has earned will be his own,
And he will have to leave this world all alone.
Christ’s love for men is immeasurable,
His mercy for sinners is unspeakable,
His sacrifice for mankind’s redemption
Is by all means beyond description.
By God’s grace sinners can become saints,
God will remove all their stains.
We must pray for their conversion,
And for sinners we should have no aversion.
“The children of this Age are cleverer than the children of Light,”
Their crookedness Jesus has put it right.
It is not they that enter heaven;
They are in a way worse than heathen.
Playing good Samaritan is an act of charity
For which Christ has given good clarity
By His well-known parable
Which is a matchless example.
Christ is the Good Shepherd
Whose voice is sadly unheard
By many a sheep whose fate
Is to listen to the call too late.
O Jesus, who is life and resurrection to us
Who is the fountain of all graces to us
Lead us to paradise not on earth
But in heaven which is far beyond the earth.
Christ taught His gospel during His life;
His disciples have been doing it after His life,
The faithful see in Him a living Christ
Who is never for them a departed Christ.
Christians believe in the Holy Creed,
No other creed do they need.
Christ came to teach us one gospel;
Let all people come under its spell.
Wonderful it is that Christ has a bride
The holy church is His beloved bride.
For us Christians she is our pride;
Being believers, we have nothing to hide.
When we read a dead man’s obituary,
He may be lying in a mortuary.
We want to see him in his departed life
As we had seen him in his real life.
For whom will heaven open
But for those whose hearts open
To the call of the Eternal Father
Who wants all His children to gather?
O, God the good shepherd that you are
Keep all your flock with kindly care.
Let not one of them go astray
That is what we humbly pray.
Faith in God is the supreme virtue,
Denial of God is the vice of not a few.
God is the fountain of all graces,
God will save man from all the dangers he faces.
Never again will I forget thee, Lord,
Never again will I wound thee, Lord.
Let me ever be in thy grace,
Let me ever be in thy embrace.
