Guaranteed Goodness


“The goodness of God endureth continually” (Psalm 52:1).  “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths… The LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken… He giveth grace unto the lowly.” (Proverbs 3:6,26,34).  “Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven… One thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:20,42). 

The goodness of God shall endure,
Since God neither changes nor lies. 
He leads us in paths that are sure,
For nothing takes Him by surprise.

As God is acknowledged each day,
He gives us direction we need.
We know He will show us the way;
His goodness is thus guaranteed.   

In Christ is our heart’s confidence;
We know that our foot won’t be taken. 
His goodness is now our defense;
We know He is never mistaken.

He tells all His own to rejoice: 
For heaven will surely record
The names of those making the choice
To trust Him as Savior and Lord. 

Our Savior examines each heart,
To give to the humble more grace. 
As Mary had chosen this part,
His goodness was in her embrace.

We thank You, O Lord, for Your Word  
Where guarantees daily abound
With goodness and mercy assured
In wonderful promises found!   

O Lord, we declare Your salvation
Extended to all of the lost,
Which guarantees no condemnation
Since You paid its horrible cost. 

Lord, help us to speak as we should,
So those facing wrath may now flee
And thereby discover how good
Your grace is which You guarantee.
