Global Goodness

"The Word of the Lord is right... The the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.... He spake and it was (done); He commanded and it stood fast.... Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death.... He is our Help and our Shield" (Psalm 33:4,5,9,19-20).

The goodness of God is everywhere found
In all of the earth wherever we look.
Through all of creation His glories abound,
As well as in every word in His Book.

How great are the things in the earth our Lord does,
Upholding all things by the Word of His power!
By that Word of power, He spoke and it was:
Each marvelous creature, each beautiful flower.

Yet there is a goodness beyond His creation
(Though that is enough to exhaust heaven's praise).
Come, read in His Word of His wondrous salvation:
How great is the goodness His mercy displays!
