"And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them" (Exodus 3:7,8). "God looked down upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no not one" (Psalm 53:2,3).
God has looked down from heaven to see,
And God listened also to hear
The deeds and thoughts of humanity:
His findings were painfully clear.
All have gone back and all became filthy!
No one was found who was looking for God.
No one does good; each one is found guilty,
Deserving the wrath of His judgment rod.
But God looked and listened with infinite love,
Seeing affliction, and hearing our moan.
Thus knowing our sins, He came from above,
And bearing sorrows, He made them His own.
