God Cares
by Barbara Philbrook

God cares and I can prove it to you.
Just sit back and relax, that's all you must do.

God made the world and everything it contains,
and knew there would be sin despite all His pains.

God knew, yet He proceeded to make man,
but He also provided for us a salvation plan.

The world was made and all that live there,
once God even flooded it, so deep was His despair.

Before opening the flooding rains from the sky,
He had the ark built to save animals world wide.

One special man and his obedient family,
were the only ones to survive with the animals you see.

Of course this was not the ultimate means of salvation,
just the outcome of God's vexation.

The salvation of sin would take God's son's life,
He would hang on a cross in agonizing strife.

Knowing what it would take and still going on,
knowing too some His love would reject or spawn.

God cares and is patiently waiting for you,
to accept His love that is heartfelt and true.

No man knows when "It is finished" will be said,
but you can be facing it with anticipation not dread.

God cares and is offering you an opportunity,
to partake in salvation and His victory to see.
