"He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy" (Psalm 147:10,11). "Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised" (Proverbs 31:30).
What could we give to the Lord of creation
That He could not have by just wishing it true?
Come to His cross where He wrought your salvation
Because He delighted so greatly in you.
The Lord is not thrilled over temporal gain;
The strength of a horse or a man He won't treasure.
Such favor deceives; its beauty is vain,
Yet all those who fear Him, in them He takes pleasure.
