Before We Had Faces

/ pastorpete51 / 12 Comments 
Before we had faces
And we had no voice at all
Then no one else could see us
 When we were small – small – small

God took the plans He’d made
And put them out to see
To show to all the pattern
He would use for you and me

Then stamped His image on our hearts
And signed the bottom line
So we would be delivered
Just exactly in His time!

For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13 NIV

God has chosen us to show
His mystery Of long ago
When He was born
Where shepherds bow
And cattle fed
And roosters crowed
To simplest hearts
His glory know!

He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;
Luke 1:51-52 ESV

When all around great problems prowl
And life is torn from my control
When wildest storms within me howl
I hear a voice deep in my soul
My Christ is yet
The Lord of all
My Christ is yet
The Lord of all

Then fiercest winds hush to a calm
And darkest skies end with a dawn
And all the birds begin their song
Of sweetest hope that rests upon
That Christ is still
The cornerstone
That Christ is still
The cornerstone

There only faith can be my sight
In sleepless nights and darkest days
He shows His face by Heaven’s light
Though I am small still I will praise

For His great gift
Forever stays
For His great gift
Forever stays

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV
