Reflection

It’s amazing and incredible,

But it’s as true as it can be,

God loves and understands us all,

And that means YOU and ME,

His grace is all sufficient,

For both the YOUNG and OLD,

For the lonely and the timid,

For the brash and for the bold,

His love knows no exceptions,

So never feel excluded,
