Housetop Herald

"Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart to My knowledge... that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee" (Proverbs 22:17-21). "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach upon the housetops" (Matthew 10:27).

In the darkness of my closet space
Where God and I commune
God there brings to light His grace
And brings my heart in tune.

In the quiet time of morning dawn
When I bow down my ear
I read God's word, He leads me on,
To do what I will hear.

And so it is I cannot stop
To speak what I have heard.
In light and on the house's top
I shall proclaim His word.
