"My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up" (Psalm 5:3). "The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit" (Proverbs 12:5). "Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal... Is not My way equal? Are not your ways unequal?... For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth" (Ezekiel 18:25,32). "I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it... And I saw... the book of life" (Revelation 20:11,12).
I
lift my voice up in morning,
And
upward I direct my prayer
To
rise above this world's scorning
And
cast upon the Lord my care.
The
thoughts of God are always right
In
contrast to the dark deceit
Of
those who hate the Savior's light
From
which they hastily retreat.
God's
ways are equal, true, and just;
This
world's ways are surely not.
In
God alone I've learned to trust,
For
there I find the peace I've sought.
Now
upward, Lord, I fix my gaze
Upon
the splendor of Your throne
Where
You will judge unequal ways
And
make Your perfect justice known.
