Never Ever

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

God never is surprised to see
The choices that we make,
Though disappointed He will be,
When rules of His we break.

He never is distracted or
Comes help when it's too late;
Nor does He do too little for
The times of tearful fate.

He never gives to us the things
That we deserve, instead
The cross showed grace that he still brings
By which the soul is fed.
