ONLY GOD

As specks of sand and mere dust

A handbreadth and a vapour;

A fragile tender piece of art

We’re made by our Creator.

He’s fashioned us so beautifully

As a potter does the clay,

And has numbered all our years on earth

And established our every day.

He’s the only one to draw us near

With His power and full control,

Since mankind can only plant the seed

And wait for salvation to unfold.

Only God can heal our broken heart

When we surrender at His feet;

He restores us with His precious Word

When faith and hope both meet.

Only God will hear our cries for help

And only He bottles our tears;

He’s the only one to wipe our pain

And removes all doubt and fear.

Only by grace comes our salvation

Since our good works simply won’t save,

Along with any man-made feeble attempt

That negates Christ’s sacrifice made.

Only God deserves our worship

He is brilliant and perfect too;

He desires a relationship

As we honour all things true.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship..” Ephesians 2:8-10

“But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf..” Isaiah 64:6
