Beyond the Curtain



(I know, I've posted this song before, but I love it; the voice, the message and melody:) May we trust God with our tomorrows and thereby know peace. Wishing each of you His blessings in 2015.

Uncertainty is certain
Not one of us can know
What waits beyond the curtain
From whence all moments flow

And none of us are able
To see what lies ahead
Or weights tomorrow’s table
Where today’s spoil is spread

But, though we cannot vision
What lies beyond The Veil
It pours in pure precision
Through Hands that will not fail

Of Certainties





This little day is dawning
A gift from heaven’s throne
We know not what is spawning
Within its vast unknown

But this we know for certain
The Love that lifts night’s veil
Then draws again its curtain
Will never, never fail

We comprehend with dullness
Life’s trouble-twisted path
We cannot grasp the fullness
Of God’s love or His wrath

Yet this we know for certain
That Death is but the Door
And Time, the transient curtain
To God’s forevermore

I remember a preacher saying, when I was a child, that if we could ever see the fullness of God’s love we would never question it because it goes beyond anything our minds can comprehend. Then He said, in the same measure, if ever we would see the full wrath of a Holy God we would never seek revenge.

We all will see one or the other in eternity. This is an Immortal certainty.

Of Certainties...




There is one Certainty that keeps uncertainties in check
We know not what a night or day will bring
For life’s uncertainties seem never to reside or rest
So to this One sure Certainty I cling

Though famine, flood, worry or woe plagues this frail, earthen sphere
Thrusting uncertainty across life’s road
And though the things we love soon change, decay or disappear
One Certainty remains to under goad

Nothing can separate us from His everlasting love
As we lift our uncertainties to Him
His promise leaps from vaults beneath and crowns the heavens above
It whispers in the hour growing dim

No height or depth, no life or death can separate mankind
From His great love affirmed within His Word
Uncertainties may twist and turn; a dark, demonic wind
But Certainty abides in Christ the Lord
