But For the Grace of God I Go

by AlvinTEthington


But for the grace of God I go...
Oh, really, you opine that's so?

Belong to the elect of God?
I find your arrogance quite odd.

The maker of the ark drank wine;
Now you think drunks are out of line.

And Abraham our father lied;
Does not that cause you just to sigh?

The pagan Rahab was a whore;
I bet that makes you really sore.

King David killed to have a wife;
That must cause your demeanor strife.

Our Lord with sinners dined and ate--
That you consider second rate...

So whom does God in truth so choose?
The ones with nothing left to lose!
