Mindful of Man


"His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings" (Job 34:21).  "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?  And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:4).  "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country" (Proverbs 25:25).  "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved... The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off" (Acts 2:21,39). 

The eyes of God are on the ways
Of every man upon this earth. 
He ponders him through all his days,
Beholding him before his birth. 

He came to visit us below
And blessed us with His visitation. 
He laid His life down to bestow
The riches of His great salvation. 

As waters that would quench our thirst,
The gladness of His good news came! 
The Lord will bless those who were cursed
When they shall call upon His name!

This promise comes to each of us
Who strayed like sheep from God afar. 
His Gospel is so marvelous
That calls and saves us where we are! 

O Lord, we occupied Your mind
Before our time on earth began. 
You saw us sinful, lost, and blind,
Yet You were mindful still of man. 

How mindful were you of us, Lord,
That You could rescue us by grace!
You have become our great Reward,
Our Savior, and our Hiding Place.
