Praise for His Perfection

"Jotham [יוֹתָם Jehovah is Perfect] became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God" (2 Chronicles 27:6).  "Blessed be the LORD my Strength… my Goodness, and my Fortress; my High Tower, and my Deliverer; my Shield, and He in whom I trust… I will sing a new song unto Thee, O God… praises unto Thee" (Psalm 144:1,2,9).  "And they sung a new song, saying… Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood… Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!" (Revelation 5:9,12).

As Jotham rightly had declared,

Our perfect LORD deserves all praise,

And so he wisely had prepared

To please the Lord in all his ways.  

His preparation was rewarded

As he became a man of might

With wisdom that God's Word afforded

As he was walking in the light. 

The song of praise is still the same 

In heaven as in all the earth

Where those redeemed by Christ proclaim

Our great Redeemer's matchless worth.

Lord, thank You for Your Word's direction

Wherein we see You as the Lamb,

That we may sing of Your perfection

And praise You as the great I AM!
