Meditating on our Maker


"Thy testimonies are my meditation" (Psalm 119:99).  "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended… gathered the wind in His fists… bound the waters in a garment… established all the ends of the earth?... He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:4,5).  "Prepare to meet thy God… that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought" (Amos 4:12,13).  "They were offended at Him… and He marveled because of their unbelief" (Matthew 6:3,6). 

The testimonies of our Lord
Display His mercy in salvation.
We've seen His majesty explored
While meditating on creation. 

Our great Creator came to earth;  
The Word made flesh became our Shield. 
He died to offer second birth,
And by His stripes we have been healed. 

Behold the majesty of Christ,
Who ponders every thought in man,
Who was for sinners sacrificed,
Accomplishing salvation's plan. 

O Lord, as we are meditating
On You, our Maker and our Friend,
We marvel at the sinners hating
The lovingkindness You extend!
