Beautiful Comfort

 

 Matthew 6:9-13

For thine is the kingdom, the power and glory

Though ages, eons and eternities roll

Nothing and no one can succeed the power

Of He whose shed blood redeems man’s wretched soul

Compassion and mercy and grace fill his right Hand

Holiness, judgment and wrath fills His left

Love, perfect love without end or beginning

IS ever IS in the Rock that was cleft

He who created this transient existence

Will never fail; He is eternal God

He who beholds our stubborn resistance

Brushes with miracles earth’s sin-cursed sod

Into the sky He flings His awesome grandeur

Dawning and dusk flame with His holy power

Into our hearts He spills heavenly wonder

Saving us from Death’s shuttering hour

‘For thine is the kingdom, the power and glory

Forever and ever and ever, Amen’

Beautiful comfort amidst this world’s boasting

Jesus IS Lord, Savior, King of kings

Sometimes, as I pray the Lord’s Prayer these familiar words stun me with fresh wonder.

May you all have a blessed and holy Sunday.
