Laud the Lamb

Read:  Psalm 14 / Proverbs 3 / Job 22 / Revelation 7

 

Psalm 14:2,3 ~ The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Proverbs 3:34 ~ Surely, he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Job 22:21 ~ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Revelation 7:9,10 ~ I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations… cried… Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

 

The Lord looked down from heaven’s throne

To see if any understood. 

He has concluded and made known

That all have sinned; not one is good. 

 

Though mockers, as foretold, will scorn

The warning of their condemnation,

The meek by grace shall be reborn

And laud the Lamb for their salvation.

Come To See our Cause To Sing

Read:  Psalm 13 / Proverbs 2 / Job 21 / Revelation 6

 

Psalm 13:6 ~ I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Proverbs 2:6 ~ For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Job 21:22 ~ Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

Revelation 6:1 ~ And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals… saying, Come and see.

 

Now come to see our cause to sing

With all whom Jesus died to save,  

For He removed the deadly sting

That waited for us in the grave. 

 

We have cause for celebration! 

“Come, see the place,” as angels said,

Where He who died for our salvation

Is raised, as promised, from the dead!

Beauty of the Book

Read:  Psalm 12 / Proverbs 1 / Job 20 / Revelation 5

 

Psalm 12:6,7 ~ The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever.

Proverbs 1:33 ~ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Job 20:20,29 ~ Surely he shall not feel quietness… which he desired… This is the portion of a wicked man from God.

Revelation 5:5 ~ Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book.

 

Behold the beauty of the Book

Preserved by God forevermore.

Within its pages we may look

Upon the Savior we adore.

 

This Book in times of deep distress

Holds promises that cannot fail,

And therefore we find quietness,

Assured that Jesus shall prevail.
