"Our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased" (Psalm 115:3). "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen" (Hebrews 13:20,21).
Our God is in heaven above,
But His pleasure is seen in the earth.
His manifestation of love
Was displayed in our Lord's humble birth.
No person could ever compel
Or coax Him to do what He did.
He acted to save us from hell,
With love that refused to be hid.
We are the place of His pleasure!
It pleased Him to die in our stead,
And thereby to purchase the treasure
Of souls that were otherwise dead.
It pleased Him to conquer the grave
As Jesus declared that He would,
Displaying His power to save
And work in His people for good.
So why should our world then say:
"Where is your God?" in this place?
He does what He pleases each day,
In all who respond to His grace.
