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

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Thess.5:11
