✝️
Your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48; NIV).
1. God’s timing is perfect.
His mercy is great.
It’s never too early.
It’s never too late.
2. God’s pathway is perfect.
He knows we are weak.
It’s never too dreary.
It’s never too steep.
3. God’s kindness is perfect.
So gentle, his touch.
It’s never too little.
It’s never too much.
4. God’s burden is perfect.
He shares in our plight.
It’s never too weighty.
It’s never too light.
5. God’s wisdom is perfect,
Mysterious; vast;
For he is eternal –
The First, and the Last.
