You Are

Oh, to those who call out to God!
How blessed you truly are,
for who has the thought of God upon his heart?
but those Whom God has placed His Spirit there!

Oh, wondrous God, gracious God!
My heart is not at all contrite; no, not as it should be.
For I rise up in protest when things go awry,
I’m rankled, ornery – a difficult cuss; yes, but…

Again, t’is your grace, O God,
Oh, how I find such love in Your chastening hand!
Only raised when needed, and lowered when…
repentance is made, Your correction heeded.

Oh, to those who call out to God!
How blessed you truly are,
to know Him by His heart and hand,
T’is then, you know His child, you are.
