Worthy of Worship

Still, new each morning, mercy pours

until its seas immerse Infinity...

(different days, different colours,

Same Giver, same mercies)

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pities his children,

So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

Ps.103: 11-13

The above scripture is part of today's Daily Bread Devotion

The song below helps me to start the day off on the right note...

(the scripture and this song helped inspire today's poem)

We are so broken, our best so flawed, but we serve a great God..

compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.

Psalm 103: 8

He is worthy of all our praise!

Is He Worthy?

He does not hold a grudge or keep account of sins confessed

He is a righteous judge; all who fear Him are richly blessed

He knows that we are dust and with a father’s pity, cares

About the stutters we entrust to Him in wordless prayers

He, the good Shepherd; He the want of His flock satisfies

His rod and staff thwart prideful taunts of wolves in sheep’s disguise

He keeps His promises no matter what appears to be

Though some may dare to jest and mock Mercy’s authority

Still, new each morning, mercy pours until its seas immerse

Infinity, and sweep hope’s shores groaning with Eden’s curse

Where, by the sweat of our brow, we work our bread to win

But by the blood of Christ He broke the damning curse of sin

He, bruised for our transgression, crushed for our iniquities

Bore for our redemption, the punishment that brought us peace

He forgives our debts as we forgive our debtors, then

Pray we forgive and forget in the name of Him, amen

He, the same yesterday, today, forever; love’s embrace

Is patient with the way we are; sinners needing His grace

His goodness does not falter, His truth does not shift or sway

Then praise Him from the altar of the gift we call Today

He, who is faithful, just and holy, comforting and kind

His hope, an anchor for the soul, He breaks the chains that bind

He sets us free, if we believe, from death and hell unfurled

The inheritance we receive by faith transcends this world

Where we will see Him face to face, moved by love’s scars engraved

To fill eternity with praise; by His grace we were saved

Look at the birds of the air; 

they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,

 and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 

Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matt.6:26
