Behold, He Walks on Gold and Purple Seas...

Jer. 33:25 NLB

But this is what the LORD says:

I would no more reject my people

than I would change my laws

that govern night and day, earth and sky.

Gen.8:22

“As long as the earth endures,

seedtime and harvest,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night will never cease.”

Behold, He walks on gold and purple seas and bids the darkness dim...

Behold upon yon boundless deep dawn’s Author sweeps the stars away

The Architect of Ages keeps His ancient vow of Night and Day

To a world plagued with unbelief and disease of body and soul

His love still binds the wounds of grief and grants the faith that makes us whole

Behold, what manner of love the Father has given unto us

To be the sons and daughters of Who Is, Will Be and Always Was

Oh, Lord our God, how great Thou art for though you know us through and through

(For You behold the heart and see how wicked we are without You)

…You love us still and hoist the banner of Thy kind Mercy Renewed

As we behold the manner of Thy love, fill us with gratitude

Subdue the thought that does not trust but fixates on what it perceives

Create in us a clean heart and renew the spirit that believes

Behold, the old is new again; dawn brims with what has never been

Grace crowns Time with a diadem of hymns never yet heard or seen

The Architect of Ages keeps His ancient vow of night and day

No war that mortal wages will God’s faithful Hand of mercy sway

Let not our hearts be troubled (though this world with trouble’s curse abounds)

But let the Word that God imparts be that which succors and confounds

For He will keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on Him

Behold, He walks on gold and purple seas and bids the darkness dim

Behold What Manner of Man Is This?

Rejoice in the Lord always.

I will say it again: Rejoice! 

Let your gentleness be evident to all. 

The Lord is near.

 Do not be anxious about anything, 

but in every situation, 

by prayer and petition, 

with thanksgiving, 

present your requests to God. 

And the peace of God, 

which transcends all understanding, 

will guard your hearts and your minds

 in Christ Jesus.

Phil.4:4-7
