Hallelujah Fount (because we need its Certainty in these Uncertain Times)

This song that Victoria was listening to this morning...

and this verse  I read in my morning reading...

For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
John 1:16 ESV or NLT version
From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another

 ...helped inspire today's poem...

because let's face it; it takes more than the piece/peace of pie to turn panic to peace!

When we begin to count

Blessings bestowed, unfurled

We feel a hallelujah-fount

Drown the fear of this world

As we begin to see

With kinder, meeker stance

The philharmonic symphony/sympathy

That mercy’s Maestro grants

Where we are not alone

To face the foe of dread

Where God is still upon His throne

Yet with us every step

Where seasons keep their pace

And grace is never swayed

In spite blessings we disgrace

And messes we have made

Where we live in moments

Of one day at a time

Where we are the recipients

Of promises divine

For no man here on earth

Can fully reassure

Without God’s Word to instill truth

Whereby we will endure

And then, as we believe

Speech becomes dumb with awe

Where we were numb now we perceive

The wonder of love’s law

And how God sees our need

Beyond the present fuss

And works ahead to intercede

On the behalf of us

His light of Righteousness

A lamp unto our feet

His hope through divine promises

To make the bitter sweet

His Beauty marred and scarred

With testaments of pride

Where love trod a road cruel and hard

And then was crucified

…to pay the debt we owed

To defeat death and hell

To prove the Sovereignty of God

With the tomb’s empty shell

Where we, unto this day

May touch those Hands engraved

With the insignia of grace

By His name we are saved

Ah! Then the blessing-fount

Thought cannot comprehend

As humbly we begin to count

His mercies without end

Where Heaven’s Finale

Is worth earth’s short travail

While we lean on His Guarantee

Of love that will not fail
