Who is Equal to the Holy One?

11-3-26

 

Few and fleeting are the days of man

How swiftly passes his feeble span

Oh Lord, help me to understand,

My mortal frame—how frail I am!

Help me to redeem my time, oh Lord

As Thou hast commanded in Thy Word.

For vile and evil are the days

Man deepens his pernicious ways

 

Everlasting to everlasting

Thou art God, Beginning and Ending

My time is nothing before Thee

When compared to eternity

A Thousand years is but yesterday

In Thy changeless sight time flies away.

Who’s measured the waters in Thy hand

Or meted the heavens with a span?

 

Who’s weighted the balance of the hills?

Who, each morning the dew distills?

Who has given counsel to the Lord?

Who can challenge or disprove His Word?

Who is equal to the Holy One?

By Who’s might all things are made and done.

Scales the mountains cannot contain,

Yet mankind tries God to explain.

 

A drop in the bucket—all nations

Less than nothing man’s highest stations.

Like the flowers he is no more

But our God reigns forevermore.

Judah, behold your God, consider

That He is able to deliver

The souls that enter His sweet care

Blest are the souls found with Him there.

The Brevity of Life

Fleeting and vain are the days of man

How short e’en the longest lifespan!

Like the springing up of tender grass

The final day comes swiftly to pass!

Why then does man ‘oft forget his frame?

Made from dust, he returns to the same.

He has no pow’r or life of his own,

Save what God bestows from His throne.

In foolish pursuits man spends his hours

His life’s work fades like the flowers

A costly marker may top his grave

But riches cannot his life save.

But his soul is precious in God’s sight

In mercy God beheld man’s plight

For complete atonement to be made--

Man’s awful sin debt must be paid

The Lord provided Himself the Lamb,

Our Messiah, the great I AM.

At Calv’ry God’s wrath was satisfied

Through Christ’s blood we are justified.

God gives us all opportunity

To use our lives for His glory

We brought naught in, we take nothing out

But this we know without a doubt—

Any sacrifice we make in love

Will be richly repaid above

So make your life what it ought to be,

Make it count for eternity!

Blessed Time of Prayer

          Blessed Time of Prayer

3-13-26

Dear Lord, make my heart more like Thine

Enhance my taste for things Divine.

Lift me up in Thy sweet grace

Close to Thy own Holy face.

Let all my frets and worries flee

As I pursue hard after Thee.

In the sacred place of prayer

Make Thyself known to me there.

 

Reward of the Faithful

 Reward of the Faithful

How vast and amazing
Our God’s rich service reward
A cup of water in His name
Is not forgotten with our Lord!
If we, in earthly love
Good gifts on others bestow
How much more our heav’nly Father
Delights to bless our prayers below.
He’ll reward the faithful
In eternity to come;
His presence alone would suffice
In that bright and heavenly home.
The wicked’s awful pow’r
Spreads wide like the Green Bay tree,
But like a rushing, white-capped wave
He shall vanish as suddenly.
The wicked tread the just
But the Lord doth hear their cry,
One day He’ll return to earth
Reading the heavens and the sky
With God’s law in his heart
Sure-footed the Just shall stand
Though he fall he shall rise again
The Lord upholds him with His hand.
So don’t fret though this world—
Is cruel and unfair;
The just Judge will right every wrong
And safely keep those in His care.
