| O, that my spirit would see how You reign, Lord! O, that the whole world would be glad of it! Clouds and darkness surround you, and I do not understand You; But I believe righteousness and justice are ever at Your very throne! | |
Others may say You do nothing, But I believe your lightnings enlighten the world, and make the very earth tremble. | |
Others may claim all is formed by random chance, But I believe the ancient hills would melt like wax at the fullness of Your presence. I look up and see the heavens themselves declaring Your righteousness. Your glory is visible to those not confounded by idols. You have a city whose daughters, even now, rejoice because they know the judgments that belong to You. | |
| They know what it means to serve a God exalted above all created things. | |
I know You are the one I love, and that You hate evil. This is my peace. I know You preserve the souls of Your saints and deliver them out of the hands of the wicked. This is my rest. In a dark place, I see Your light, sown for the righteous. In a grief-stricken place, I see Your gladness sown for the upright in heart. This is my hope. I rejoice in You and thank You... ...for helping me remember Your holiness in an unholy place. | |
