"Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not Thy commandments from me" (Psalm 119:18,19). "My son… hide My commandments with thee… Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God" (Proverbs 2:1,5). "The LORD of hosts hath purposed it" (Isaiah 23:9). "The Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of Me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome" (Acts 23:11).
We need, along
with open eyes,
Obedient ears to
hear God's Word.
The Lord will
thereby make us wise
To understand
what we have heard.
We need to hide
the Lord's command
Within our heart
to hear His voice,
For we are
strangers in this land,
Yet in His
presence we rejoice.
We do not trust
in circumstance;
We trust the
Lord who orders all.
He does not
govern us by chance,
But by His
purpose and His call.
O Lord, with
open eyes we see,
And with obedient
ears we hear:
You've purposed
all things perfectly,
And so, like
Paul, we have good cheer.
