LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD- A poem on Psalm 67

Blessings come for gospel pleasure

For all peoples to delight

In Christ their sovereign treasure

And joy to know no height


Nations round are yet to know

A hope to be forgiven

So cause our grace to grow

That to Christ they may be driven


We plead for grace

Not for self and ease

But to run the race

Across the seas


Except you bless us

We cannot go

The riches of Jesus

They will not know


So give more grace

And grant more blessing

To set the pace

Till they’re confessing


In every land

Where Christ not known

The faith you command

In Christ alone


There are other sheep

That must be brought

A charge to keep

For those you bought


Grant them to repent

Give them faith to choose

For their hearts are bent

Their wills refuse


S o bless us well

And grace increase

For we must tell

God’s terms of peace


To make them sing

And make them true

Worshippers of the King

Now made brand new

Sermon on Psalm 51- Bob Dalberg, Berean Baptist Church

In Silence I’ll Wait

A POEM ON PSALM 62

The roar of terror
I will not fear
Nor the rattle of error
But the Lord I hear

In silence I’ll wait
Till His voice is plain
My God so great
But man so vain

Nothing in wealth
To bring my release
He is my health
Though evil increase

To God the power
In justice and might
The cross my tower
I’m just in His sight

The work now done
My hope secure
He gave his Son
I will surely endure

Watch Rob Bell Have to Answer a Question...

Justin Taylor linked to this MSNBC interview with Rob Bell. Rob Bell is the latest denier of an eternal hell. Nothing new here- just crusty old heresy with hip glasses on. Watch Mr. Bell squirm and evade, and see Mr. Bashir pin him to the mat. It is very good to see an emergent type not be allowed to give non-answers. My question is what is Martin Bashir doing on MSNBC?

A LAMB SLAIN FOR SIN’S DARK STAIN -a poem on Psalm 51

Dark was sin’s stain
Cruel was sin’s rule
My rebel soul slain
For sin played the fool
No hope to know joy
For death was a thief
No cause to employ
To find my relief

My fate was so grim
My case was all lost
Till hope was in Him
He paid the full cost

I found but one plea
Twas death to my pride
Have mercy on me!
For nothing will hide
The stain of my shame
But a Lamb who was slain
For the fame of the Name
No guilt to remain

Sermon on Psalm 46, March 6, 2011- Bob Dalberg

God's Sovereign Grace in Translating the Bible into Kimyal

Watch and be humbled by their love for the Word of their Lord and his sovereign choice in bringing them the Scriptures.....(HT: Justin Taylor)


A Poem from Psalm 46

“Be Still” He Commands


He will be exalted

No thing he does can be halted.

Every impossible feat

He will surely complete

Every knee bending low

Shattering of every bow

He brings our peace

By the mighty word cease

He commands we know

He overcomes every foe

He will be exalted

No thing he does can be halted.
