This 'song' sort of wrote itself as the Mete-r of Mercy Renewed
mesmerizes man once more...
Oh, thrill of hope’s favour as dawn rends yon shore
Where wonder is waiting to wow us once more
As Mercy, a treasure God’s love so decreed
Will grant us the measure of grace that we need
Oh, blessed assurance for all who believe
This race of endurance bids all to receive
The prize of the promise that none can annul
Salvation through Jesus; sin’s debt paid in full
Then do not despair in the care that must be
But rather prepare for the day that will be
While we, dream-prone dancers oft vexed by faith’s foe
Are emptied of answers to explain our woe
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The sky is not spilling explanations we seek
Its blossom unfetters soft parchment of pink
In awesome love-letters, not written in ink
Then, oh, how hope quivers to witness day’s birth
Love rushes like rivers from heaven to earth
As Light fells the dark, ancient ways still amaze
Joy swells wonder’s spark into anthems of praise

Yesterday afternoon as wonder wowed words speechless I thought of this song...
How Beautiful Heaven must Be
How Beautiful Heaven must Be
...because the beauties of earth are but faint glimpses only
of what eye has not seen nor ear heard...
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered
into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who
love Him.”
1 Cor.2:9
Isaiah 65:17
For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
(So don't bother trying to keep a why-list to ask God;
you'll never remember them anymore!!😇)
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial,
(So don't bother trying to keep a why-list to ask God;

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial,
because when he has stood the
test,
he will receive the crown of life
that God has promised to those
who love Him.
