"Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased" (Psalm 115:2,3). "Lord, Thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: who by the mouth of Thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together.... For of a truth against Thy holy Child Jesus... the Gentiles and the people of Israel were gathered together, for to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to be done" (Acts 4:24-28).
Why indeed should nations say,
Where is now their God?
The Lord our God made night and day
And formed us from the sod.
How senseless, then, that nations trust
In idols that they made,
Since God, who formed us from the dust,
His sovereignty displayed!
Those who choose to not believe
Become like idols too,
Who senselessly cannot perceive
The things so plainly true!
Our God displays His sovereignty,
Through all of His creation.
Yet more than this, we surely see
His hand in our salvation!
Our sovereign God revealed His hand
Before concerning Christ,
And prophesied who would withstand
His Son they sacrificed.
O Lord our God, how great Your are,
As all Your work proclaims:
It pleased You to create each star
And give them all their names!
It pleased You, Lord, to save each soul
Through Christ who brought salvation,
And we are pleased to now extol
Our Lord with adoration!
