The Lord Will Reign For Ever

When God began to fashion things Like light and time and space And angels with their wondrous wings To share a state of grace And suns and moons and stars and Earth With life both great and small, He then made Man to know His worth, Yet Man dismissed it all... To think, that Adam thought it wise To seek his own reward, To follow Eve, her thoughts to prize, Regardless of the Lord. It grieves my soul, yes, even now, Yet God still had a plan, The plan to save Mankind somehow From evil that began... And so it was, He sent His Son, At His appointed time And by the deeds that Christ has done, We see Him as sublime... To think, He was the Lamb of God That takes Man's sins away, By faith, to sacrifice His Blood, Yet rose from death Sunday... Yes, the Lord will reign for ever, The Cosmos at His side, Continuing there together, Like Jesus and His Bride... This truth endures the centuries, Establishes His Church And thus fulfills God's prophecies, If we, the Bible, search... The prophets and the psalmists know God's glory, wisdom, love, Forgiveness that can overflow Like snowflakes from above... The sun and moon are witnesses, The stars sing praises, too, And each Christian saint God blesses Will share Good News with you... Beyond the Universe that's known, There's much, much more out there, Yet with the wisdom God has shown, It's grace that leads to prayer... God's pardon and His gifts still prove His Kingdom knows no end, Stay humble, yet rejoice that truth, Lord Jesus as your friend... While angels praise what each has seen, Mankind should praise the Lord, For all that's known and gaps between, So nothing's been ignored... Behind the scenes, God's in control, With miracles galore, So lock this truth within your soul... God reigns for ever more... Denis Martindale, copyright, February 2012.
