If you hear or learn nothing
else,
know this:
From before the beginning,
From the foundations of
the earth,
The Creator of everything
sits above
and looks upon it all.
Like a curtain, with His
arms open wide,
He stretched out the heavens above.
Like a tent, with sure and
steady hands,
He spread the skies to dwell beneath.
Like a bowl, in the cup
of His palms,
He measured out all the waters seen.
Like a scale, in the strength
of His arms,
He weighed every hill and mountain.
Who taught Him knowledge
and wisdom?
He is knowledge and wisdom.
Who showed Him all understanding?
He is understanding.
Who instructed Him about
justice?
He is justice.
Who counseled Him in the
way of love?
He is love.
We are as small particles
of dust
He has carefully counted out.
We are as drops in a deep
bucket
He has drop by drop poured out.
We are as seemingly nothing
that
He still looks down upon in love.
Even our nations are as
tiny beads
He strings together on a bracelet.
Lift your eyes on high
and see Who created all things.
Lift your voices on high
and praise Who made everything.
Lift your hands on high
and worship Who calls us by name.
Lift your hearts on high
and love Who already loves you.
Now you have heard.
Now you know.
Your Everlasting God, Lord,
and King,
Wait on Him
like your very next breath
depended on it.
Isaiah 41 |
