Smart in the Smoke

"I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget Thy statutes.... All Thy commandments are faithful.... Quicken me according to Thy lovingkindness" (Psalm 119:83-88).

Until the smoke has cleared away
Some things may be obscured.
Yet still we have the truth today:
The statutes of God's Word.

Though smoke is still before our eyes
Obscuring thus our vision,
Let us nonetheless be wise
And right in each decision.

The things that matter are secure:
God's love and faithfulness,
And these the smoke cannot obscure
Nor hinder God to bless.
