Our Compassionate God
GOD sent JESUS CHRIST, His SON, on a loving mission
His purpose was reconciliation;
LORD JESUS came in obedience and compassion
To alleviate our sinful condition;
By suffering for us, humiliation and condemnation
To ensure our salvation and resurrection.
Mercy seasons justice for our human plight
Compassion is God’s Expression;
It becomes a king better than his crown
Compassion should be our impression.
Christ emptied HIMSELF to come down from heaven
It is servant-hood HE calls us to follow;
Serve our righteous GOD and our fellow-men,
With loving compassion and not to wallow
In sinful pride, in hedonism or Mammon.
In compassion, Christ came to suffer with man
To understand our human weaknesses,
And give us His strength to overcome them.
To show by example, the narrow path to eternal bliss,
By His compassion, HE displays God’s Holiness;
We are encouraged to have a compassionate heart
And love God and neighbour by doing our part.
