Selected Secrets

"Hast thou heard the secret of God?.... Are the consolations of God small with thee? Is there any secret thing with thee?" (Job 15:8,11). "What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose.... The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant" (Psalm 25:12,14).

The Lord is waiting to reveal
His secrets whispered in the ear
With consolations that will heal
And comfort those with godly fear.

Have you heard His secret yet?
Now come with reverent expectation!
Fear the Lord and don't forget
The blessings of His consolation.

Come, delight in His correction
That cleanses us from secret sin,
As we're humbled with confession
When God has searched our heart within.

Come with boldness to His throne,
For though His strength is infinite,
God has welcomed all His own
To hear His secrets intimate.

O Lord, we come to hear Your voice
To learn how we may love You more,
To know the secrets of Your choice,
And serve You better than before.
