With One Voice Then Everywhere

In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.

Psalm 56:10-12

With so many “designer churches”, with varying degrees of emphasis on secondary issues, it brings great comfort to know that God has not left us to ourselves but has provided us through the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ with the word of His grace and the indwelling Holy Spirit to teach us and to guide us into all truth. Likewise, it is such a wonderful thing to know that regardless of how adamant we may be when it comes to some of these issues, all who are truly born of the Holy Spirit, washed in the blood the Lamb may look with great expectation to the day that we with one voice praise Him for His perfections everywhere!

Oh, Praise God for His virtues

And in them His Beauty see,

As He, Himself reveals them

By His Word with clarity.

And though He is much greater

Than we’ll ever know in time,

He delights in all who take delight

In Him who is sublime!

Oh, Praise God for His Word

Through which He richly now reveals

The light of His own presence

By His Spirit as He seals

Our hearts of which He has shut up

To show His glory there

In transformation power

Making new our every care.

For the things of first importance

Are the things in which we boast

Through the cross which Christ has suffered

And has sent the Holy Ghost

To protect us and to guide us

Through this life until we share

In the praise of His perfections

With one voice then everywhere!
