Established in the Earth

"Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to Thine ordinances: for all are Thy servants" (Psalm 119:90,91). "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell?" (Proverbs 30:4). "But the greatest of these is charity" (1 Corinthians 13:13).

Who has established the ends of the earth
And gathered the wind in His fists?
Who gave the waters their land-measured girth
With power that not one resists?

Who does creation so grandly proclaim,
Declaring to each generation
His faithfulness seen in His excellent name?
Christ Jesus, the Lord of creation!

Lord, You descended from heaven above
To show us much more than Your might,
But also Your faithful and infinite love
That overcame darkness with light.

Lord, as we see Your creation obey
Each ordinance that You command,
In contrast to all we like sheep gone astray,
We know it's by grace that we stand!

Lord, thank You for lessons in all that we see
Established in all that You made.
And thank You, Lord Jesus, that at Calvary
Your love was so greatly displayed!
