Grace In Place of Irrationality

Inspired by Numbers 20:14-29 & Matthew Henry’s commentary

We can send out ambassadors 

For generosity from our neighbors 

Ask with politeness 

Just for some kindness 

All for some simple favors 

But can be met with irrationality 

People who see us with inhumanity 

They become unreasonable 

Making the task infeasible 

Simply because of their jealousy 

Sometimes we face uncalled for reactions 

The aftermath of past interactions 

Being met with hostility 

Instead of civility 

Now we’re dealing with the infractions 

But what about our Great Provider 

The One who makes our burden lighter 

His directions we discard 

Insulting our God

So consequences will be acquired 

When He then calls for our passing 

Will we obey the Everlasting 

Humbly accept our demise 

And say our goodbyes 

The results of all our relapsing

The repercussions to disobedience 

All the times we were defiant and deviant 

Justified our behavior 

Not acknowledge our failures 

So someone has to intermediate 

Let us not hold on to selfish pride 

Because our faith would be defied

The trust subsides 

His truth cast aside 

Then His love we will not abide

He abided in us first

But His Mercy we reversed 

And showed Him our worst

So we then became cursed 

But the bond He would nurse 

His Wrath He disbursed 

So His Spirit we’d immersed 

Now His Grace is reimbursed
