Ponder the Power

"Lo, these are parts of His ways: but how little a portion is heard of Him? But the thunder of His power, who can understand?" (Job 26:14). "What manner of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!.... The Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins" (Matthew 8:27, 9:6).

How awesome is the solar thunder
That God ordained in space!
And yet there is a greater wonder:
The power of His grace!

Indeed, our Savior showed His power,
Commanding seas and winds.
Yet in His most triumphant hour,
He took away our sins.

And so exploring His creation,
We see a little part.
But as we ponder His salvation,
We fully see His heart.

But who can fully understand
The power of His love,
That carried out what God had planned
That we might dwell above?
