Why believe in such a god
who has love but has no power
who wishes well but cannot fulfill
why would I entrust my life
to one who cares but cannot save
there is comfort greater far
in He who loves and who has saved
in spite of evil's power
who's plan is not by evil altered
but overwhelms in evil's home
I wrote this after a discussion (I think)
with someone who said that God is
love and so would never hurt anyone.
This would mean His love for us could
overrule His justice, making Him a
God unable to save us from our sin
and therefore unworthy of our faith.
