Majestic Matters


"LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me" (Psalm 131:1).  "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:21).  "The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare... the work of the LORD our God" (Jeremiah 51:10).  "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us... We love him, because He first loved us" (1 John 4:10,19). 

This world has no strategy
To justify our sinful hearts,
And as we ponder this we see
The wisdom God alone imparts. 

Regarding such majestic matters,  
What plan could we ourselves devise? 
Our thought, like windswept chaff that scatters,
Without God's counsel, is not wise.

Majestic matters God has planned
Have been revealed to declare
His counsel which shall always stand
And work of love beyond compare. 

O Lord, in matters of Your love,
You leave us speechless with delight! 
Majestic mercy from above
Has made us righteous in Your sight.
