Goodness Rules

God’s goodness rules--because God is all good--
makes perfect sense the eyes of faith can see;
that good will win is clearly understood,
no hope, no life without good’s victory.
Though evil’s there, God brings good out of bad,
and God, with His great power for good, makes sure
the good is greater, and so leaves us glad
we can help beat the bad and its allure.
In battling evil here, how do we share
in fixing that God’s good will always win?
We start with faith, then use the might of prayer,
God’s good with ours defeats the world and sin.
O Lord, let me help fight the bad with You,
for I believe “God’s goodness rules” is true.
