MEDITATIONS
FROM ISAIAH

Reading
“I am your God” Isaiah 41:10
“And without
controversy great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed
on in the world, Received up in glory” 1 Timothy
Thou art the
One, Almighty King
Who causes my
dead soul to sing;
‘Tis Thou,
whose holy feet have trod
This earth, so
I may call Thee King.
‘Tis Thee, O
Righteous Judge of all,
That paved the
way so I may call
Upon Thy mercy
and Thy grace,
Enabling me to
see Thy face.
Thou art He,
YAHVAH is Thy Name,
Now, for ever,
Thou art the same;
Thy glory,
hidden from my sight,
Revealed in
radiating Light.
‘Twas Thee,
who through Thy Son did’st call
My sinful,
broken, dying soul;
By Thy Spirit You’ve granted Light,
Reversing my
eternal plight.
Chosen in
Christ, Thy love for me
Written in
heaven for all to see;
No
condemnation now I fear,
Love in my
soul for One so dear.
It remains, my
soul, a mystery,
This wondrous
love of God for me;
By faith I
know You will remain
My God and
King, ever the same.
Eternal Father, You who has loved me before the foundation
of the world, forgive my lack of thankfulness for all
You have done for me. Grant, through Your Spirit, an ever increasing desire to
spend time in Your presence so I might know You better, love
You greater, and serve You in utter abandonment. You are my God, my Elohim, and
there is none like You. That One as great and so full
of majesty and honor should be manifest in the flesh and love me with an
everlasting love, is beyond my comprehension. Accept the praise of my heart for it is
offered in deepest sincerity.
