“My son, be wise, and make My heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth Me” (Proverbs 27:11). “A voice out of the cloud… said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him… And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only” (Matthew 17:5-8).
A
voice from heaven to my soul
Has
spoken in the clearest tone,
And
though it wasn’t audible,
God
surely made His comfort known.
The
Word of God conveys His voice,
Which
God allows my heart to hear
To
stir my spirit to rejoice
As
He reminds me He is near.
Beholding
thus my Savior’s beauty,
Now
quieted, I hear Him speak.
I’m
drawn by love, not merely duty,
To
Christ exalted, yet so meek.
My
Father knows that I am one
Who
is distracted easily.
He
calls me to behold His Son
And
hear Him as He speaks to me.
As
on the mount where Christ was speaking
To
Moses and Elijah then,
He
shows me who I should be seeking:
My
Lord alone, not mortal men!
As
others have departed now,
I
lift my eyes to Christ above,
And
see Him only as I bow,
Astonished
at His wondrous love.
I
sense my Savior’s gentle touch;
He
tells me not to be afraid.
I
scarcely understand how much
The
Lord for my redemption paid!
Lord,
thank You for this hallowed place
Where
I approach on holy ground
To
lift my eyes and see Your face
Where
fullest joy and peace are found!
O
Lord, there’s no one else like You
Who
can impart such perfect peace!
Your
mercies everyday are new;
Your
lovingkindness does not cease!
I
thank You, Lord, my God and Savior,
For
saving me from condemnation,
And
still I’m drawing from Your favor
To preach Your Gospel of salvation.

He has changed your lIfe Dave...what a God!
Soli Deo Gloria! He knew we would never come looking for Him (Psalm 14) any more than Adam would in the Garden... so He came to seek and to save us. Indeed, brother. What a Savior!
