"Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He… Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations" (Psalm 135:6,13). "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin" (Isaiah 53:10). "He that pondereth the heart… keepeth thy soul" (Proverbs 24:12). "Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth" (Zephaniah 2:3). "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth" (Luke 15:10).
It pleased the
Lord to bring salvation
By laying down
His life for us.
Throughout the
earth, each generation
Recalls His
mercy marvelous.
Our wayward hearts
have all been pondered
By Christ who paid
redemption's cost.
All we like
sheep from Him had wandered;
He came to seek
and save the lost.
The Lord calls
everyone on earth
To seek and find
Him while they may
As He extends a
second birth
To souls while
it is called Today.
Your memory,
Lord, we contemplate,
With mercy that
was heaven sent,
As we, with angels,
celebrate
When sinners
meekly will repent.
