The Hand Of The Lord Has Done This

The poor and needy search for water but it seems in vain,

The sun is hot, the sky seems merciless and there is no rain.

The land is in danger of a severe drought that could kill,

Surely the only hope is to be found in the Lord God still!

 

There must be a cry of faith with a heart that is humble,

God hears and He sends an answer in a thunder’s rumble.

The faithful need not fear that they would be forsaken by God,

Rivers of water would be opened in desolate heights by the Lord!

 

God would do more than just provide water for the thirsty,

He would create a forest of trees for those who trust Him fully.

The dry land need not be a desert if God were to grant grace,

Mankind would find that God has not forsaken the human race.

 

God wants man to know and see what He can do in His might,

He wants man to consider and understand what is good and right.

God’s glory is not hidden at all when spiritual eyes are truly opened,

How good to see faith revived; let us treasure mercy as God’s token.

 

Inspiration: Isaiah 41:20

That they may see and know, and consider and understand,

That the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it
