God Urgent

God’s there available to each, to all,
with an immediacy we can’t conceive,
always prepared to save us when we fall,
and constantly encourage us to believe.

To God the earth is like a grain of sand,
He sees the long view to eternity,
He holds me and the world snug in His hand,
to share His grand perspective I am free.

Great as God’s power, His love is greater still,
but all His love for us comes at a cost,
we can’t have sinful fun and do His will,
we risk to have it both ways and we’re lost.

I stop to smell too many roses here,
You, Urgent Lord, urge me to get in gear.
