Solace in the Settled


"Forever, O LORD, thy Word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89).  "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end... And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:11,13).  "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more" (Hebrews 8:12). 

How good it is to know forever
That God has settled what He said! 
We do not rest in our endeavor,
But in His faithfulness instead. 

The Lord declares to us His thought
To give us an expected end.
Though human plans may come to naught,
Upon God's Word we can depend. 

He manifests His thoughts of peace
To all who truly seek His face. 
Our praise to Him shall never cease
As we explore His wondrous grace.

We find our solace, Lord, in You;
Your Word is settled and is proved.
Your mercies are forever true
By which our sins have been removed!
