"Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness" (Psalm 143:8). "They said, Lord, wilt Thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did? But He turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them" (Luke 9:54-56).
The first and final word from God,
The motive of His staff and rod,
The footsteps that our Savior trod,
Declare His lovingkindness.
I hear His words of truth and love
That made Him leave His throne above.
I know what spirit I am of
Since love removed my blindness.
