SALVATION PLAN OF GOD

(Part 1)

To share in his great love God created man.

Gave him the earth and fixed his life span.

How sin entered in and then destroyed God’s plan!!

Oh Merciful Father, how shall we reach thee,

How shall we reach thee (2)

Oh Merciful Father, how shall we reach thee.

       Now the hearts of all people were going astray,

Their doom was eternal, and no other way.

The whole of creation, not one who could stay!!

Oh save us dear Father, we call upon thee,

We call upon thee (2)

Oh save us dear Father, we call upon thee.

       Abraham, Isaac lived in the fear of the Lord,

And Moses was blessed to hear the voice of the Lord,

He cried out, “Obey the commands of the Lord.”

Oh Father of Jacob, how can we thank thee,

How can we thank thee (2)

Oh Father of Jacob, how can we thank thee.

        They cried out to God in their misery,

In His great mercy, he heard their plea.

He sent them great prophets to set them all free!!

Oh Wonderful Father, we bow before thee,

We bow before thee (2)

Oh Wonderful Father, we bow before thee.
