God's way

God’s Way

By I.M. Ulysses

What is man

That he should feel

A solemn touch

Of God who’s real

For he was born

To take a stand

And not bow down

At fools' command

To let hope rise

Within his breast

And rend his heart

His soul to test

For life does not

Come with restraint

For those who strive

While others faint

It must be grasped

With faith and power

That comes from God

In their dark hour

Such it is

For all mankind

Who seek a path

That’s not defined

Not to their own

Do they consult

But unto Whom

Angels exalt

To Him they come

Both great and small

From tribe and tongue

And before Him fall

So who is man

That he should boast

Of what he does

And all his host

The road’s not his

Nor is his course

It’s set by God

Who is the source

All this I know

And have been taught

That if God reigns

I cannot

Frank once said

It was my way

Living his life

As he would say

But that’s not true

Nor can it be

For God did not

Man's will make free

Our path was set

Before our time

To serve a purpose

The Lord defined

He made us

That we should learn

The path to life

That we can't earn

So I’m at pains

To speak my mind

And share this truth

To me confined

Man is nothing

Dust in the wind

Fit for death

Because of sin

But when all seemed lost

And death held sway

Christ came down

And did it God’s way.
