Sinners in the hands of a loving God
Scares us far more than Jonathan Edwards’ angry God
God’s complete, unrelenting, unconditional, extravagent love
Intimidating us so, melting our shame-based defenses
Shrinking back, we invent rules to narrow the flow, conditions for controlling
This complete, unrelenting, unconditional, over-the-top love
So terribly wonderful, overwhelming our senses, flooding our souls
Sinners in the hands of a loving God we are
Thanks be to God
Amen
