Uttered with Understanding


"One generation shall praise Thy works to another... They shall abundantly utter the memory of Thy great goodness" (Psalm 145:4,7).  "Receive My words... For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:1-6).  "Behold, the glory of the God of Israel" (Ezekiel 8:5).  "Go and take the little book which is open... Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings" (Revelation 10:8,11). 

One generation utters praise
Declaring what the Lord has done
To yet another that conveys
The goodness seen in God the Son. 

As we receive the words of God,
Obeying what He is commanding,
He gives us wisdom, never flawed,
With knowledge and with understanding.

Behold the God of Israel
Unveiled in redemption's story!
His Book is open now to tell
The greatness of our Savior's glory! 

Lord, grant us understanding now
So that Your Gospel may be uttered
With power which You will endow
And purity that is uncluttered.
