Truly thankful to God
for his extra fifteen years,
King Hezekiah's reaction
to the news of the pain
he would long endure,
Was not what most would
expect.
Hear the word of the Lord,
said the prophet Isaiah:
your wealth will be carried off,
there will be nothing left;
and sons that you will beget
will be carried away as well;
all your treasures will be taken
far from you forever.
To these King Hezekiah said
with joy:
this word of God you have shared,
is well and good, for there will be
at least there will be peace and
truth throughout this hard land.
God is doing a great work!
He said,
Praise be to God!
Isaiah 38
