"There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us… Thou hast put gladness in my heart… for Thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety" (Psalm 4:6-8). "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country" (Proverbs 25:25). "Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities… and in the streets" (Jeremiah 11:6). "When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son… to redeem them that were under the law" (Galatians 4:4,5).
How
good is the Gospel we preach
That
shines everywhere it is sent
With
light that will graciously reach
The
sinners who truly repent.
All
those who are willfully blind
Will
not understand what Christ said.
They
see not the light He has shined,
Preferring
the darkness instead.
The
good news is sent from above
Like
waters which satisfy thirst,
Producing
in us a new love
For
God who has so loved us first.
O
Lord, when the due time was full,
You
came as You promised You would
To
rescue and ransom our soul;
How
truly Your Gospel is good!
