Did you heed the word God spoke?

 

Did you heed the word God spoke?

May His grace be told!

Did you know God's word awoke?

Lo! His grace was bold!


Christ grew as a tender shoot

May His grace be told!

Desert sands around His root

Lo! His grace was bold!


Holden eyes could not discern

May His grace be told!

Beauties God would have us learn

Lo! His grace was bold!


Darkened hearts would not esteem

May His grace be told!

Beauties which are heaven's theme.

Lo! His grace was bold!


Now my lightened heart can see

May His grace be told!

What He bore He bore for me

Lo! His grace was bold!


(This continues thoughts I had on Isaiah 53 in varying poetic forms during 2020.)

  2. Well written, deep thoughts David. There is no end to what we can out of Isaiah 53!
