"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Creating a song (a work in progress)

I was doing my devotion this morning when I decided to read the whole chapter of the text. The original text for today's reading was simply "Mighty to save" - ISa 63: 1. This simple phrase is the sum of the whole chapter. I was then inspired to copy and paste the whole chunk of scripture into some kind of prose (as opposed to poetry). Anyway, this is a powerful verse that demonstrate the sovereignty of God.

You led Your people, To make for Yourself a glorious name (Isa 63:14)
Even when we have become like those over whom You have never ruled,
Like those who were not/never called by Your name. (v19)
O Lord, you are mighty to save (v1)

You cause us to stray from Your ways and harden our heart from fearing You? (v17)
Yet I shall make mention of Your lovingkindnesses, the praises of You, LORD
According to all that You have granted us,
The great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses. (v7)

(to be completed later...)
