They Made God Say 'Uncle! ' (Romans 1: 24-32) Poem by JoAnn McGrath

They Made God Say 'Uncle! ' (Romans 1: 24-32)


We always here of our...
...Powerful God
...Forgiving God
...Compassionate and gracious
...'Slow to anger and rich in love' God

But before he gave us his only son,
when the world knew of God
and claimed to be wise
but was foolish in sin,
'God gave them over...
...to sinful desires of the heart
...to shameful lust
...to a depraved mind.'

He turned his back
Was fed up with what he saw
He said enough....is enough
Uncle!

Still it was not final
He gave his only son
so through his death...
...we died too
And our minds and spirits
should rise in life and peace
