The Gift

IMG_4379.jpeg

Free will is the gift of God,
The source of all creation
He gave us the power to choose,
To shape our own salvation
He did not make us robots,
Programmed to obey his will
He made us in his image,
With a mind and heart and skill

Free will is also the curse of man,
The cause of all our sorrow
We often choose the wrong path,
And face the consequences tomorrow
We disobey his commands,
And rebel against his grace
We hurt ourselves and others,
And mar the beauty of his face

But free will is also the hope of love,
The reason for his mercy
He knows we are not perfect,
And we need his help to see
He does not force his will on us,
But waits for us to come
He offers us forgiveness,
And welcomes us as his son

Free will is the mystery of life,
The paradox of our being
We are free to choose our destiny,
But we are also free to cling
To the one who made us and loves us,
And wants us to be free
Free from sin and death and fear,
And free to live eternally
