MACRO & MICRO
The beauty of a flower, The quiet evening hour,
Glow of the setting sun, When work of day is done,
These things God has made.
The peaceful countryside,The ocean Deep & Wide,
Majestic Mountain Range,The rolling Hills & Plains,
The Roaring Waterfall, All Creatures Great & Small,
These Our God has made.
He made the rainforest in evergreen leaf,
The dazzling beauty of the coral reef,
All the fish within the sea,& the little buzzing honey bee,
This world of wonder & complexity,
Oh God You made it all for me.
For you're the God of the macro galaxies & the microscopic cell,
The God of the infinite universe & the infinitesimal,
All the wonders of creation shout aloud your glory Lord,
All owing their existence to your mighty word,
Your Almighty Word.
The Shepherds round a Fire,They hear an Angel Choir,
A Babe is born that night,To bring this Dark World Light,
The Prophecies of old before you now unfold,
A Baby you will find,Peace & Joy to all Mankind.
& He's the God of the macro galaxies & the microscopic cell,
He's The God of the infinite universe & the infinitesimal,
For the Babe within the Stable has Created Everything,
Yet came down to this poor world to make the sad heart sing,
To make the Sad Heart Sing.
A Cross is lifted High,The King condemned to die,
Thick Darkness Veils the Sun, As God forsakes his Holy One,
Its Finished then the Saviour cried,The Temple's Veil torn open wide,
The Lamb of God Has Bled & Died,
& He's the God of the macro galaxies & the microscopic cell,
He's The God of the infinite universe & the infinitesimal,
But the God of all Creation couldn’t stay within the grave,
He Rose again Victorious living evermore to save,
& all sinners weak & helpless who now come to him for grace,
Will find his arms are open wide & the smiling of his Face,
All mankind can know his love & peace & receive forgiveness free,
For although he is the King of Kings, He said Come Unto Me
He Has Said Come Unto Me.
Job was one of my first mid 90s little dreaming that a few times I would feel so much like him,the song I wrote on one occasion,based on this study, Psalm.16.17,32.6,65.7, 89.9-10, 93.3-4, 124,2-5,& Isaiah.43.1-4.All use stormy waters to picture OUR troubles & trials in life,Then a similar number speak of Christ’s suffering the same way
5.STORMY WATERS-- MIGHTIER THAN THE SOUND..........
Sometimes troubles can seem like a crashing ocean wave,
We call in desperation for somebody to save,
Our anguished spirit cries for help from up above,
WHERE IS THE GOD OF POWER,WHERE IS THE GOD OF LOVE.
Chorus
Oh the Lord the Lord on high is mightier than the sound,
mightier than the sound, mightier than the sound,
Oh the Lord the Lord on high is mightier than the sound,
Mightier than the sound of many waters.
For he rules the raging wave with a hand outstretched to save,
He's the king of kings & lord of lords we know,
The king's heart is in his hand & he rules through every land,
He's supreme in heaven & on the earth below.
Chorus
Jesus gave his all for me when he died on Calvary,
& the Father turned away from his dear son,
All the raging waves of sin,oh they thundered over him,
It was finished then,the work it was well done.
Chorus
The good shepherd guides my life,
through the peace & through the strife,
Then he'll come again to take me to his fold,
I will follow him each day,as I walk the narrow way,
Then forever more I'll tread the streets of gold.
Chorus
Oh the Lord the Lord on high is mightier than the sound,
mightier than the sound, mightier than the sound,
Oh the Lord the Lord on high is mightier than the sound,
Mightier than the of many waters.
