What God Cannot Do

 

God cannot lie

I’ll tell you why

He is not a man

He sticks to His plan.

God cannot fail

In any detail

He keeps His word

Has forever endured.

God cannot change

What He has arranged

There is no need

That’s His creed.

God cannot lose

Doesn’t have to choose

Never in a pickle

Nothing so fickle.

God cannot die

A mystery, oh my

His Son’s sacrifice

For the world sufficed.

God cannot reject

But His Son, respect

Whose death for all

Was His Divine call.

God cannot go back

His word does not lack

The power to do

He sees it through.

God cannot bypass

Even a simple task

Done for His child

Or the weak and mild.

God cannot smile

On sin or its style

It he fiercely detests

And abhors its mess.

  

God cannot do more

Than the open door

For us he has assured

In Jesus our Lord.

God cannot renege

Even though we beg

To cast us into hell

If His word we repel.

God cannot refuse

A sheep that did choose

Life in the Saviour

Having found His favour.

 

God cannot bend

From beginning to end

He who sets the tone

Is God and God alone.

God cannot bow

In the future or now

Lord of life is He

Cannot bow you see.

God cannot sleep

But allows His sheep

Rest in His beloved

Son from above.

God cannot accept

The unbelief we project

But promised to protect

Those he did elect.

God cannot deceive

A soul He has received

To be His very own

Whom Jesus did atone.

God cannot repent

Regarding His intent

To save the penitent soul

And take him to his goal.
