Beholding Faithful Father-God...



 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, 
that we should be called children of God!
1 John 3:1



We behold You where morning moors its ship on shores of blush and blue
Where circumstance is not by chance or love but for the chosen few
You greet us on dawn’s beaming street with what some deem a common nod
While all the while we’re witnessing the faithfulness of You, oh God

The rise and fall of all we cherish tunes the heart to treat Time well
How swift the gift of something new melts into mist where morning fell
Aha, the law of nature does not change its pattern or its pace
While all the while we’re witnessing the faithful lantern of Your grace

We behold you where mercy shakes the starry deep and dims the dark
New day unveils Hope’s awesome Door still open to Salvation’s Ark
Where all who enter find redemption, saved from Hades awful fate
While all the while we’re witnessing the holy agony of ‘wait

…while you love to delight the eye with all that faithfulness imparts
Where wonder wakens worship, even in hard, atheistic hearts
Where Unbelief is still belief but in far less than faith defends
While all the while we’re witnessing Your Providence that grace extends

We behold You in whispered utterances veiled as day-to-day
Behold, what manner of mercy always brushes the night away
Behold, what bold and beautiful testaments bend the sky and sod
While all the while we’re witnessing the faithfulness of Father-God
