Unending Love

When I behold wondrous works of your hands, O Jehovah,

Immense depths of your compassion for Man;

A father's unending love for His children,

I stand amazed at immeasurable depths of God's compassion

Stretching through expanding aeons

Bearing recalcitrant souls in self torment

In loving arms of nurturing care

Man who for so long, was far from obvious truth;

Of single source of all and unto all

Lost to self in dismal despair of hidden recesses

Deprived of light of enlightenment

Seeking meaning in places bereft of meaning-

Man whose authority of heritage stolen, is in Christ restored;

In Messiah come to redeem His own is balance of creation restored

Your word you set upon lectern as light shining bright

In dusk of human despair when men were huddled

Awaiting salvations trumpet call of victory

Waiting for warmth of rising sun

Sun that is light of life in Christ revealed

Burning ever so brightly, bringing warmth and light

Renewal, restoration in salvation's gift of life eternal

To a cold damp place, long devoid of hope

Hope now fully restored in ancient prophecy failed

A gentle guiding light for weary travellers trudging through life's paths -

Yet, how many have these paths of travail failed to complete

Sent tumbling to craggy edges of sins futility

Deceptions' fog of disappearing mist on life's path

Ensnaring foolish disobedient in devious trap of self destruction

Sadly mourned are worthy souls lost in yawning void in very sight of salvation's Lord

Whose glorious light fills creation with hope renewed

Failing to comprehend incomparable love of God for His handiworks

I cannot but proclaim your praise, exalting you O Jehovah in your great works of wonders

For loving grace of life eternal in Christ enabled -

Where can man be outside his Creator? -

As for these marvellous things you have blessed us with

Far too great are their manifold expressions

Here we are, still grappling to comprehend how expansive salvation's provision

That upon innocent back of Creation's Lord and Saviour,

Brutally assaulted

His innocent flesh stripped

Painful layer by painful layer

That from his torment undeserved

Salvation's price is paid, and

Undeserving man is relieved of burden of severest impositions -

Grappling hands of darkness have been cut short

Life restored to man

Set amidst glorious light of salvations magnificence

Darkness flees before light of life

Its hold broken

Sin's deceptions in a moment unmasked

That when joyous hearts running to meet their Shepherd

Look back

Great is their dismay at deceptive pollution that had ensnared them

Thus, is man's praise of worship ever so greater -
