Let's Look If We're Able (at Mercy's set table)

 

Because all of our hearts are kinda in our throats right now

as we wait, pray and wonder...

He wasn't pretty

the first snowman of the year,

but he was loved!

Let’s look if we’re able 

At mercy’s set table 

And leave to the Lord what we ought 

This earth runneth over 

With joys to discover 

Like a four-season garden plot 

The blessings that matter, 

Like child’s carefree chatter 

As they slip their hand into ours 

The faithful adorning 

Of beautiful morning 

As night’s bud bursts forth in fresh flowers 

Let’s be boldly honest 

Because of the Promise 

-es God made, trustworthy and true 

Time’s delicate suture 

That holds back the future 

Throbs with what God said He will do 

So ours is to listen 

Where frosted fields glisten, 

Where orbit of season-tide tolls 

To usher the plunder 

That gushes with wonder 

That thunders through awe-smitten souls 

Let’s cherish the summons 

Of what may seem common 

But is mortal’s Magnum Opus 

The season’s first snowman 

The burst of affection 

From hearts still without prejudice 

Let’s savour sweet laughter 

To treasure long after 

Its sparkle of pleasure subsides 

Let’s look if we’re able 

At love’s laden table 

Where Goodness and Mercy abides

Every so often while snowman was in the works

Little Girl would ask,

Hot chocolate, cookie time?

Finally 'not yet' turned to 'yes!'

making the treat so much sweeter for the waiting!

The faithful adorning 

Of beautiful morning 

As night’s bud bursts forth in fresh flowers 

Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, 

that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? 

Does He promise and not fulfill?

Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, 

the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion 

for a thousand generations of those who love Him 

and keep His commandments.

1 Corinthians 1:9
God, who has called you into fellowship 

with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

I Will Trust My Saviour, Jesus
