Reassuring Repetition

"God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto Thee belongeth mercy" (Psalm 62:11). "Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation" (Hebrews 6:17,18).

God in mercy once has spoken;
Sometimes He will say it twice,
And adds an oath that can't be broken,
Even though once should suffice.

What reassuring repetition
Our God provides within His Book!
Faithfulness without condition
Is found in Christ each time we look.

Power thus belongs to God;
Mercies too, we know are His.
God is faithful! Oh how odd
That we ever doubt He is!
