"Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat… David" (1 Chronicles 2:12-15). "The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein… the LORD is gracious and full of compassion… He sent redemption unto His people" (Psalm 111:2,4,9). "We pray always for you, that our God would… fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power: that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him" (2 Thessalonians 1:11,12).
As we review
familiar names
In Chronicles
that have their place,
We see the pleasure
God proclaims
In people who portray
His grace.
The works of God
are truly great
In which we find
our highest pleasure
In Christ, who saw
our lost estate
And has redeemed
us as His treasure.
How gracious is
our Lord's compassion
Who sent
redemption to us all!
How great His
love is that could fashion
A way to save us
from the fall!
By Your good
pleasure in us, Lord,
God's people now
proclaim the story
Of goodness that
shall be explored
Through time and
evermore in glory.
