"Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?... Our fathers understood not… they remembered not… they waited not for His counsel (Psalm 106:2,7,13). "I will wait upon the LORD… and I will look for Him… If they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them… and they shall be driven to darkness" (Isaiah 8:17,20,22). "Understandest thou what thou readest?... He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb… Then Philip… began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus" (Acts 8:30-35).
How great are
the Lord's mighty acts
Which many have
not understood,
But there are
historical facts
Which they could
explore if they would.
The reason they
can't understand
Is found in their
heart's motivation:
They do not
regard the Lord's hand
Or think that
they need His salvation.
Since they are
refusing the light
Of truth which our
Savior has given,
They don't
understand what is right,
And so into darkness
are driven.
O Lord, by Your
Spirit's commanding,
Like Philip we run
to explain
And utter with
clear understanding
That You are the
Lamb that was slain!
