Election, a poem

[Brother Ben]

Election
By: Ben Smith

For picking leaders, there is a way,
We call it our election day.
One will win and one will lose,
So did God appoint, or did we choose?

Both! Is the Amazing point to see,
For God, in His great Sovereignty,
Election, though hard to be explained,
Is God setting forth what’s been ordained.

On this side we see choices grand
On Heaven’s shore it’s His great Hand
And oft we war with blood-bought brother,
When we insist on one or the other.

We should not strive, for it’s easy to see,
We have such a wondrous mystery.
Some things are far beyond our eye,
His ways and thoughts are much too high,

Instead our Saviour, Friend, and Surgeon,
Hath used John Wesley, and Charles Spurgeon.
So rather than to strive again,
Let’s go and seek the souls of men.

And when we gather in His name,
Let’s not our brother ill defame,
But gaze into the Heaven’s above,
And be disciples, filled with love.
