Ps.107:8-9
Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness
and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul
and fills the hungry soul with goodness!
The God of our salvation grants,
Where daybreak kindles wicks of grace
The gladness of fresh choice and chance
Where past and future interlace
To make the most of Now and Here
Where holy hope and heartache meld
To help us to be of good cheer
Where God's goodness is not withheld
But bids us see His majesty
Where earth and sky thunder His name
To waken mortal mightily
Where/for we are called to do the same
Arise, arouse the slumb'ring hymn
Where once more mercy is renewed
Dawn's beckoning attractions brim
Where we are called to gratitude
To He whose help is above all
Where trouble's trying tempests roll
He hears us when we humbly call
He satisfies the longing the soul
He is worthy of all our praise
He makes us valiant in faith's fight
He leads us righteously always
He pierces sin's darkness with light
Oh God, forbid I fail to bring
Where mercy and morn meet again
Love's humble worship offering
Where all I have is Thine. Amen
Oh God, hold not Thy peace from me
Where wicked boast while faith counts loss
Renew the prayer that praises Thee
Where hope is anchored in the cross
Oh God, before we face the bar
Where righteous judgment is revealed
May all recognize who You are
And call upon You and be healed
Janet Martin
Isa.53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
From a recent devotion from Streams in the Desert Vol. 2
