For Our Sake

Seeing man's inconsistency,  

of wisdom, wealth, and strength,
we ought to learn that these do not,
can not a savior make.

"You can not tell me what to do",
we shriek, then lovingly
Our God replies, "No, I will not,
but grace I offer thee."

That one we called oppressor 

We learn again, as childhood ends

was really our protector.
