unfailing love


O God, how precious your unfailing love
where all mankind can find a hiding place
under the shadow of your wings - a dove
with eggs, or hen with chicks will often grace-

ously give warmth to babes, or shade from ill
(the heat of sun or fire, or hawks approach).
Keep trusting in the Lord and do what he’ll
be glad of, he's not wanting to reproach!

He’s looKing Jesus said, throughout the earth
(just like he did at first, when “saw 'twas good”)
for what is good and true, and right from birth
is willing to renew, as just he would,

till they are right again in his own eyes.
So fix your heart, oh people, on this God,
his word has brought to you each good surprise,
his word to you brought land on which you've trod,

his promises securely made and kept,
are food for feasting on,  his faithfulness
is what allows you to have soundly slept,
when as a child you trusted him to bless

and strengthen and rejuvenate through rest.
Faith motivated Abraham to leave
home, thus obeying God's call in this “test”
to then discover “his” new territ'ry -

that’s offered for his sons to inherit.
He left with only God’s promise and word,
and this was counted out to his merit.
So Abraham stepped out, in faith. He heard!



O God, how precious is your unfailing love.
All mankind can find a hiding place under the shadow of your wings.  Psalm 36:7 (PM Version)

Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on His faithfulness.
Psalm 37:3 (PM Version)

Faith motivated Abraham to obey God's call and leave the familiar to discover the territory he was destined to inherit from God. So he left with only a promise and without even knowing ahead of time where he was going, Abraham stepped out in faith.
Hebrews 11:8 (PM Version)
