Lord Take our hearts, these tablets of stone,
And renew them in Your grace and Your love.
For they being often callous, may Your blood atone,
Soften them with mercy from above.
Write on our hearts the commandment of love,
May they feel the compassion of our Lord?
Now may Your Spirit descend from above?
And in agreement may we walk in one accord.
We sprinkle our hearts with the blood of the Lamb,
And we loose them from the evil that they’ve known.
Now we bind them to the goodness of the Great I Am,
Till we can love one another as our own.
Engrave the Royal Law right on our heart,
And engraft the law of kindness on our mind.
Till we walk in the Spirit of which He did impart,
For every tree produces fruit of its own kind.
Ezekiel 36:26—I will give you A NEW HEART and put A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; I will TAKE THE HEART OF STONE out of your flesh and give you A HEART OF FLESH. (27) “I will put MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU and CAUSE you to walk in MY STATUTES, and you will keep MY JUDGMENTS and do them.
Proverbs 3:3—LET NOT MERCY and TRUTH forsake you; bind them around your neck, WRITE THEM ON THE TABLET OF YOUR HEART, (4) and so find FAVOR and HIGH ESTEEM in the sight of God and man.

Psalm 85:4—RESTORE US, O God of our salvation, and CAUSE YOUR ANGER TOWARD US TO CEASE. (5) Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger TO ALL generations? (6) WILL YOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN, that Your people MAY REJOICE IN YOU? (7) SHOW US YOUR MERCY, O Lord, and grant us YOUR SALVATION. (8) I WILL HEAR what God the Lord will speak, for HE WILL SPEAK PEACE to HIS PEOPLE and TO HIS SAINTS; but let them not turn back to folly. (9) Surely HIS SALVATION is near to those who fear Him, THAT GLORY MAY DWELL in OUR LAND. (10) MERCY and TRUTH have MET TOGETHER; RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE have KISSED each other. (11) TRUTH WILL SPRING OUT OF THE EARTH, and RIGHTEOUSNESS shall look down from heaven. (12) Yes, the Lord WILL GIVE WHAT is GOOD: and OUR LAND will yield its increase. (13) RIGHTEOUSNESS will GO BEFORE HIM, and shall make HIS FOOTSTEPS OUR PATHWAY.
Titus 3:4—But WHEN THE KINDNESS and THE LOVE of God our Savior TOWARD MAN APPEARED. (5) not by works of righteousness which we have done, BUT ACCORDING to HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, through THE WASHING of REGENERATION and RENEWING of THE HOLY SPIRIT, (6) whom He POURED OUT on US ABUNDANTLY through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Hebrews 12:22—But you have come TO MOUNT ZION and TO THE CITY of THE LIVING GOD, the HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, to an innumerable company of angels, (23) to the general assembly AND CHURCH of THE FIRSTBORN who are REGISTERED in HEAVEN, (Col. 18—And He is THE HEAD of THE BODY, THE CHURCH, who is the beginning, THE FIRSTBORN from THE DEAD, that in ALL THINGS He may have PREEMINENCE.) (Pro. 21:16—A man WHO WANDERS from THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING will rest IN THE CONGREGATION of THE DEAD.) (Eph. 5:14—Therefore He says: ‘AWAKE, you WHO SLEEP, ARISE FROM the DEAD, AND CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU LIGHT.)
Returning to Heb. 12:23—to GOD the JUDGE of ALL, to the spirits of just men made perfect, (24) TO JESUS THE MEDIATOR of THE NEW COVENANT, and TO THE BLOOD of SPRINKLING that speaks better than that of Abel. (Abel offered a lamb for a sacrifice, Jesus WAS THE LAMB of sacrifice.) (John 1:29—The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “BEHOLD! THE LAMB of GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD! (32) And John bore witness, saying, I SAW THE SPIRIT DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN LIKE A DOVE, AND HE REMAINED ON HIM.)
James 2:8—If you really FULFILL THE ROYAL LAW according to the Scripture, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as YOURSELF” you do well; (9) but if YOU SHOW PARTIALITY, YOU COMMIT SIN, and ARE CONVICTED BY THE LAW AS TRANSGRESSORS.
Jeremiah 31:31—“Behold the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make A NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—(32) “not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I WAS A HUSBAND to them, says the Lord. (33) “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS, and WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; and I WILL BE THEIR GOD, and THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. (34) “NO MORE SHALL EVERY MAN TEACH HIS NEIGHBOR, and every man HIS BROTHER, SAYING, ‘KNOW THE LORD,’ for THEY ALL SHALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST OF THEM, says the Lord. FOR I WILL FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY, and THEIR SIN, I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.
2 Corin. 3:2—You are our epistle WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS, known and READ by ALL men; (3) you are manifestly AN EPISTLE of CHRIST, ministered by us, WRITTEN NOT WITH INK BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD, NOT ON TABLETS OF STONE BUT ON TABLETS OF FLESH, THAT IS, OF THE HEART. (4) And we have such trust through Christ toward God. (5) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, but OUR SUFFICIENCY is FROM GOD, (6) who also made US SUFFICIENT AS MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT, NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE SPIRIT; for the letter KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE. (7) But if the ministry of DEATH, written and ENGRAVED on STONES, was glorious…. (8) HOW WILL THE MINISTY OF THE SPIRIT NOT BE MORE GLORIOUS? (3) For IF THE MINISTRY of CONDEMNATION had glory THE MINISTRY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS EXCEEDS MUCH MORE IN GLORY.

Romans 9:15—For He says to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY on WHOMEVER I will have MERCY, and I will have COMPASSION on WHOMEVER I will have COMPASSION. (16) So then IT IS NOT of him WHO WILLS, NOR of him WHO RUNS, BUT OF GOD WHO SHOWS MERCY. (18) Therefore He HAS MERCY on whom HE WILLS, and whom HE WILLS HE HARDENS.
Psalm 147:11—The Lord TAKES PLEASURE in THOSE who fear Him, IN THOSE who HOPE IN HIS MERCY.
Micah 7:18—Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing OVER THE TRANSGRESSION of THE REMNANT of HIS HERITAGE? He does not retain His anger forever, BECAUSE HE DELIGHTS IN MERCY. (19) He will again have COMPASSION on us, and WILL SUBDUE OUR INIQUITIES.
Habakkuk 3:2—O Lord, I have heard YOUR SPEECH and was afraid: O Lord, REVIVE YOUR WORK IN THE MIDST OF THE YEARS! MAKE IT KNOWN; IN WRATH REMEMBER MERCY.
2 Samuel 22:26—“With THE MERCIFUL YOU WILL SHOW YOURSELF MERCIFUL; Matt. 5:7—BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL, for THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY. 1 Thess. 5:8—But let us who ARE OF THE DAY be sober, putting on THE BREASTPLATE of FAITH and LOVE, and as A HELMET THE HOPE OF SALVATION. (9) For God DID NOT APPOINT US to WRATH, but TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Isaiah 27:2—In that day sing to her, A VINEYARD of RED WINE! (3) I, the Lord, keep it, I WATER IT EVERY MOMENT; lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day. (4) FURY IS NOT IN ME. Who would SET BRIARS and THORNS AGAINST ME in BATTLE? I would go through them, I would burn them together. (5) Or let him TAKE HOLD OF MY STRENGTH, THAT HE MAY MAKE PEACE WITH ME; And HE SHALL MAKE PEACE WITH ME.” (6) Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; ISRAEL SHALL BLOSSOM and BUD, AND FILL THE FACE OF THE WORLD WITH FRIUT. Proverbs 16:14—As messengers OF DEATH is the king’s WRATH, but A WISE MAN will APPEASE IT. (15) in THE LIGHT of THE KINGS FACE is LIFE, and HIS FAVOR is like A CLOUD of THE LATTER RAIN.
Psalm 71:16—I will GO IN THE STRENGTH of the Lord God; I WILL MAKE MENTION of YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, of YOURS ONLY. (17) O God, YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME FROM MY YOUTH; and TO THIS DAY I DECLARE YOUR WONDROUS WORKS. (18) NOW WHEN I AM OLD AND GRAY HEADED, O GOD, DO NOT FORSAKE ME, UNTIL I DECLARE YOUR STRENGTH TO THIS GENERATION, YOUR POWER TO EVERYONE WHO IS TO COME. Also YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is VERY HIGH, You who have done great things; O GOD, WHO IS LIKE YOU?
Isaiah 45:21—Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? HAVE NOT I, THE LORD? AND THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BESIDES ME, a just God and a Savior; THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME. (22) “LOOK TO ME, AND BE SAVED, ALL YOU ENDS OF THE EARTH! FOR I AM GOD AND THERE IS NO OTHER. Isaiah 46:9—Remember the former things of old, FOR I AM GOD, and THERE IS NO OTHER; I AM GOD AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, (10) DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and FROM ANCIENT TIMES THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, saying, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND.
Ezekiel 36:26—I will give you A NEW HEART and put A NEW SPIRIT within you; I will TAKE THE HEART OF STONE out of your flesh and give you A HEART of FLESH (John 1:18—And THE WORD became FLESH and dwelt among us, and we beheld HIS GLORY, THE GLORY as of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.) (Psalm 2:7—I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. (8) Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.)
Returning to Ezekiel 36:27—I will put MY SPIRIT within you and CAUSE you to walk in My statutes, and you WILL KEEP MY JUDGMENTS and do them. (28) Then you shall dwell in the land (Promise land?) that I gave to your fathers: you shall BE MY PEOPLE, and I WILL BE YOUR GOD.
1 Chron. 16:14—He is the Lord our God; HIS JUDGMENTS are in all the earth. (15) REMEMBER HIS COVENANT ALWAYS. THE WORD WHICH HE COMMANDED, FOR A THOUSAND GENERATIONS, (16) THE COVENANT which He made WITH ABRAHAM, and HIS OATH to ISAAC, (17) and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT. (34) Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for HE IS GOOD! For HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. (35) And say, “SAVE US, O god of OUR SALVATION; GATHER US TOGETHER, and DELIVER US FROM THE GENTILES, to GIVE THANKS to YOUR HOLY NAME, to TRIUMPH in YOUR PRAISE.
James 2:13— For JUDGMENT is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy, MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGMENT.
Hebrews 8:10—For this is THE COVENANT that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put MY LAWS IN THEIR MIND and WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; and I WILL BE THEIR GOD, and THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. (11) NONE of them shall teach his neighbor and NONE his brother, SAYING, KNOW THE LORD, ‘FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME, from the least of them to the greatest of them. (12) “FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL to THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, and THEIR SINS and THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.” (13) In that He says, “A NEW COVENANT,” He has made THE FIRST OBSELETE. Now what is becoming OBLOLETE and GROWING OLD is READY TO VANISH AWAY.
Hebrews 9: 15—And FOR THIS REASON He is THE MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, by means of death, for THE REDEMPTION of THE TRANSGRESSONS UNDER the FIRST COVENANT, that those who are called, may receive the promise of the ETERNAL INHERITANCE.
Looking again at Ezekiel 36:27—“I will put MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU and CAUSE you to WALK IN MY STATUTES, and you WILL KEEP MY JUDGMENTS and DO THEM. Isaiah 26:8—Yes, IN THE WAY of YOUR JUDGMENTS, O lord, WE HAVE WAITED FOR YOU; The desire of our soul is for YOUR NAME and FOR THE REMEMBRANCE of YOU.
Malachi 3:16—Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and THE LORD LISTENED and HEARD them; So a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was WRITTEN before HIM for those who fear the Lord and WHO MEDITATE on HIS NAME. (17) They SHALL BE MINE, says the Lord of hosts, on the day that I MAKE THEM MY JEWELS. And I WILL SPARE THEM as A MAN SPARES HIS OWN SON WHO SERVES HIM.” Malachi 4:2—But to you who FEAR MY NAME THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS; and you shall GO OUT and grow fat like STALL-FED CALVES. (4) “REMEMBER THE LAW OF MOSES, My servant, Which I COMMANDED him IN HOREB for ALL ISRAEL, with THE STATUTES and JUDGMENTS. (5) Behold, I will send you ELIJAH the prophet BEFORE THE COMING OF THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD. (6) and he WILL TURN the hearts OF THE FATHERS to THE CHILDREN, and the hearts of THE CHILDREN to THEIR FATHERS, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
Jeremiah 31:16—Thus says the Lord: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for YOUR WORK shall be REWARDED, says the Lord, and THEY SHALL COME BACK FROM THE LAND OF THE ENEMY, (17) There IS HOPE IN YOUR FUTURE, says the Lord, THAT YOUR CHILDREN SHALL COME BACK TO THEIR OWN BORDER.
Jeremiah 32:37—Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I WILL BRING THEM BACK to THIS PLACE, and I will cause them to DWELL SAFELY. (38) They shall BE MY PEOPLE, and I WILL BE THEIR GOD; (39) THEN I WILL GIVE THEM ONE HEART and ONE WAY, that they may FEAR ME FOREVER, FOR THE GOOD OF THEM and THEIR CHILDREN after them. (40) And I will make AN EVERLASTING COVENANT with them, that I WILL NOT TURN AWAY FROM DOING THEM GOOD; but I WILL PUT MY FEAR in THEIR HEARTS so that THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM ME. (41) Yes, I WILL REJOICE OVER THEM TO DO THEM GOOD, and I WILL ASSUREDLY PLANT THEM IN THIS LAND, WITH ALL MY HEART and WITH ALL MY SOUL. (42) “For thus says the Lord: Just as I have brought ALL THIS CALAMITY on this people, SO I WILL BRING ON THEM ALL THE GOOD THAT I HAVE PROMISED THEM.
Hebrews 9:11—But CHRIST CAME AS HIGH PRIEST OF THE GOOD THINGS TO COME, with the greater and MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Hebrews 8:1—NOW THIS IS THE MAIN POINT of the things we are saying: WE HAVE SUCH A HIGH PRIEST, who is SEATED at THE RIGHT HAND of the throne of the Majesty IN THE HEAVENS. (2) A MINISTER of THE SANCTUARY and of THE TRUE TABERNACLE which THE LORD ERECTED and NOT MAN. (3) For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. (4) FOR IF HE WERE ON EARTH, HE WOULD NOT BE A PRIEST, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; (6) But now HE HAS OBTAINED a more excellent MINISTRY, inasmuch as HE IS ALSO MEDIATOR of A BETTER COVENANT, which was established ON BETTER PROMISES. (7) For if that FIRST COVENANT had been faultless, THEN NO PLACE WOULD HAVE BEEN SOUGHT FOR A SECOND. (8) Because finding FAULT with them, He says; “Behold, the DAYS ARE COMING, says the Lord when I will make A NEW COVENANT with the house of Judah—
Hebrews 9:11—But Christ came as HIGH PRIEST of THE GOOD THINGS TO COME, with THE GREATER and more PERFECT TABERNACLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, THAT IS, NOT OF THIS CREATION. (12) Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED THE MOST HOLY PLACE ONCE FOR ALL, HAVING OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION. (13) For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, SANCTIFIES for the PURIFYING of THE FLESH, (14) HOW MUCH MORE shall THE BLOOD of CHRIST who through THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF without spot to God, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD? (15) And FOR THIS REASON He is THE MEDIATOR of THE NEW COVENANT, by means of death, for THE REDEMPTION of THE TRANSGRESSIONS UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT, that those who are called may receive the promise of THE ETERNAL INHERITANCE.
Psalm 78:68—But chose THE TRIBE of JUDAH, MOUNT ZION which HE LOVED. (Hebrews 7:14—For it IS EVIDENT that our Lord AROSE from JUDAH, of WHICH TRIBE MOSES SPOKE NOTHING concerning PRIESTHOOD. (15) And it is yet far more EVIDENT if, in THE LIKENESS of MELCHIZEDEK, there ARISES another PRIEST (16) who HAS COME, not according to the law of A FLESHLY COMMANDMENT, but ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE.
Romans 1:1—Paul, a servant OF JESUS CHRIST, called to be an apostle, SEPARATED TO THE GOSPEL OF GOD. (2) Which He promised before through His prophets in THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, (3) CONCERNING HIS SON JESUS CHRIST our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, (4) AND DECLARED TO BE THE SON OF GOD WITH POWER, ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS, BY THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, (5) through whom we have received GRACE and APOSTLESHIP FOR OBEDIENCE to THE FAITH AMONG ALL NATIONS FOR HIS NAME, (6) among whom YOU ALSO ARE THE CALLED of JESUS CHRIST;
Romans 8:28—And WE KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to those WHO LOVE GOD, to those WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. (29) For whom HE FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that HE MIGHT BE the FIRSTBORN among many brethren. (30) Moreover whom HE PREDESTINED, these HE ALSO CALLED; whom HE CALLED, these HE ALSO JUSTIFIED; and whom HE JUSTIFIED, these HE ALSO GLORIFIED (31) What then shall we say to these things? IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? (32) He who did not spare His own Son, but DELIVERED HIM UP FOR US ALL, HOW SHALL HE NOT WITH HIM ALSO FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS?
Hebrews 1:1—God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, (2) has IN THESE LAST DAYS spoken to us BY HIS SON, WHOM HE APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, through whom also HE MADE THE WORLDS; (3) who being THE BRIGHTNESS of HIS GLORY and THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, and upholding ALL THINGS by THE WORD OF HIS POWER, when He had by Himself purged our sins, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND of THE MAJESTY ON HIGH, (4) having become so much better than the angels, AS HE HAS BY INHERITANCE OBTAINED a MORE EXCELLENT NAME than they. (5) For to which of the angels did He ever say: YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. (Continuing with the second Psalm: You are My Son, today I have begotten You, ask of Me and I will give You the nations FOR YOUR INHERITANCE and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FOR YOUR POSSESSION.”
Psalm 22:27—ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD SHALL REMEMBER and TURN TO THE LORD, and ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE NATIONS SHALL WORSHIP BEFORE YOU. (28) FOR THE KINGDOM IS THE LORD’S AND HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS.
Acts 13:32—“And we DECLARE to you GLAD TIDINGS—THAT PROMISE which was made TO THE FATHERS. (33) “God HAS FULFILLED this for us their children, IN THAT HE RAISED UP JESUS. As it IS ALSO WRITTEN in THE SECOND PSALM: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You. (34) And that HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: I WILL GIVE YOU THE SURE MERCIES of DAVID.”
Returning to Psalm 78:68—But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved. (69) And HE BUILT HIS SANCTURY LIKE THE HEIGHTS, LIKE THE EARTH WHICH HE HAS ESTABLISHED FOREVER. Psalm 65:5—By AWESOME DEEDS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU WILL ANSWER US, O GOD OF OUR SALVATION, YOU WHO ARE THE CONFIDENCE OF ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
Psalm 66:1—Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! (2) Sing out THE HONOR of HIS NAME; Make HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS. (3) Say to God, “HOW AWESOME ARE YOUR WORKS! THROUGH THE GREATNESS OF YOUR POWER YOUR ENEMIES SHALL SUBMIT THEMSELVES TO YOU. (4) ALL THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP YOU and SING PRAISES to YOU; They shall sing praises TO YOUR NAME.” (5) COME AND SEE THE WORKS OF GOD; (Eph. 1:19—and WHAT is the exceeding GREATNESS of HIS POWER toward us WHO BELIEVE, according TO THE WORKING of HIS MIGHTY POWER (20) which HE WORKED in Christ WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD and SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND in THE HEAVENLY PLACES, (21) far ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITY and MIGHT and DOMINION, and EVERY NAME that is named, NOT only in this age but also in that which is to come. (22) And HE PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET, and GAVE HIM TO BE HEAD OVER ALL THINGS TO THE CHURCH, (23) which IS HIS BODY, THE FULLNESS OF HIM WHO FILLS ALL IN ALL.
Psalm 111:2—THE WORKS of THE LORD are GREAT, STUDIED BY ALL who HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM. (3) HIS WORK IS HONORABLE and GLORIOUS. And HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER. (4) HE HAS MADE HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO BE REMEMBERED; THE LORD IS GRACIOUS and FULL OF COMPASSION. (5) He has given FOOD to those who fear Him; (John 4:34—Jesus said to them, “MY FOOD is to DO THE WILL of HIM who SENT ME, and TO FINISH HIS WORK.”) HE WILL EVER BE MINDFUL of HIS COVENANT. (6) HE HAS DECLARED TO HIS PEOPLE THE POWER OF HIS WORKS, IN GIVING THEM THE HERITAGE OF THE NATIONS.
Returning to Psalm 66:5—Come and SEE THE WORKS of GOD; HE IS AWESOME in HIS DOING TOWARD THE SONS OF MEN. (6) He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There WE WILL REJOICE IN HIM. (7) HE RULES BY HIS POWER FOREVER; HIS EYES OBSERVE THE NATIONS; DO NOT LET THE REBELLIOUS EXALT THEMSELVES. (8) Oh, BLESS OUR GOD, you peoples! And make THE VOICE of HIS PRAISE TO BE HEARD, (9) Who keeps our soul among THE LIVING, and DOES NOT ALLOW our FEET TO BE MOVED. (10) For You, O GOD HAVE PROVED US; YOU HAVE REFINED US AS SILVER is REFINED. (11) You brought us into the net; YOU LAID AFFLICTION on our backs. (12) YOU HAVE CAUSED MEN TO RIDE OVER OUR HEADS; WE WENT THROUGH FIRE and THROUGH WATER; BUT YOU HAVE BROUGHT US OUT TO RICH FULFILLMENT.
Isaiah 54:7—For a mere moment I have forsaken you, BUT WITH GREAT MERCIES I WILL GATHER YOU. (8) with A LITTLE WRATH I HID MY FACE FROM YOU for a moment; BUT WITH EVERLASTING KINDNESS I WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU, say’s the Lord, your Redeemer. (9) “FOR THIS IS LIKE THE WATERS OF NOAH to Me; for AS I HAVE SWORN THAT THE WATERS OF NOAH WOULD NO LONGER COVER THE EARTH (Hebrews 11:7—By faith NOAH, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark FOR THE SAVING OF HIS HOUSEHOLD, BY WHICH HE CONDEMNED THE WORLD and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.) (1 John 5:6—This is He who came by WATER and BLOOD---JESUS CHRIST; NOT ONLY BY WATER, but by WATER and BLOOD. And it is THE SPIRIT who BEARS WITNESS, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH.) (John 3:17—“For GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON into the world TO CONDEMN the WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.)
Returning to Isaiah 54:9—For this is LIKE THE WATERS OF NOAH to Me; for as I HAVE SWORN that THE WATERS of NOAH WOULD NO LONGER COVER THE EARTH, SO HAVE I SWORN THAT I WOULD NOT BE ANGRY WITH YOU, NOR REBUKE YOU. (10) For the mountains shall depart (mountains of doubt?) and the hills be removed, BUT MY KINDNESS SHALL NOT DEPART FROM YOU, NOR SHALL MY COVENANT OF PEACE BE REMOVED,” says the Lord, WHO HAS MERCY ON YOU. (11) O you AFFLICTED ONE, tossed with tempest and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones WITH COLORFUL GEMS, and lay your foundations with sapphires. (12) I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones. (13) ALL YOUR CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT BY THE LORD, AND GREAT SHALL BE THE PEACE OF YOUR CHILDREN. (14) IN RIGHTEOUSNESS you SHALL BE ESTABLISHED; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Malachi 4:17—“THEY SHALL BE MINE,” says the Lord of hosts, ON THE DAY THAT I MAKE THEM MY JEWELS. AND I WILL SPARE THEM AS A MAN SPARES HIS OWN SON WHO SERVES HIM.”
Acts 2:1—Now when THE DAY of PENTECOST had FULLY COME, THEY WERE ALL WITH ONE ACCORD in one place. (2) and SUDDENLY there came a sound FROM HEAVEN, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled THE WHOLE HOUSE where they were sitting. (3) Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. (4) AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIFIT and began to speak WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. (6) And when THIS SOUND OCCURRED, THE MULTITUDE CAME TOGETHER, and were confused, because everyone HEARD THEM SPEAK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE. (7) Then they WERE ALL AMAZED and MARVELED, saying to one another, “LOOK, ARE NOT ALL THESE WHO SPEAK GALILEANS? (8) ‘AND HOW IS IT THAT WE HEAR, EACH IN OUR OWN LANGUAGE IN WHICH WE WERE BORN? (11) “CRETANS and ARABS—WE HEAR THEM SPEAKING IN OUR OWN TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD.”
Psalm 107:20—He sent HIS WORD and HEALED THEM, and DELIVERED them FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS. Oh, that men would GIVE THANKS to the Lord for HIS GOODNESS, and for HIS WONDERFUL WORKS to the children of men! Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, AND DECLARE HIS WORKS WITH REJOICING.
Acts 4:24:--Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them. (25) “who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: Why did THE NATIONS RAGE, and THE PEOPLE plot VAIN THINGS? (26) The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers were gathered together ANGAINST THE LORD, and AGAINST HIS CHRIST. (27) “For truly against YOUR HOLY SERVANT JESUS, whom YOU ANOINTED both Herod and Pontius Pilate, WITH THE GENTILES and THE PEOPLE of ISRAEL, were gathered together (28) to do WHATEVER YOUR HAND and YOUR PURPOSE determined before to be done. (29) Now, Lord, look on their threats, and GRANT to YOUR SERVANTS that with ALL BOLDNESS they may SPEAK YOUR WORD, (3) by STRETCHING OUT YOUR HAND TO HEAL, and THAT SIGNS and WONDERS may be done THROUGH THE NAME of YOUR HOLY SERVANT JESUS.” (31) and when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPRIRIT, AND THEY SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS. (33) and WITH GREAT POWER the APOSTLES GAVE WITNESS TO THE RESURRECTION of THE LORD JESUS. And GREAT GRACE WAS UPON THEM ALL.
FOR IF THE MINISTRY OF CONDEMNATION HAD GLORY, HOW WILL THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT NOT BE MORE GLORIOUS? FOR IF THE MINISTRY OF CONDEMNATION HAD GLORY, THE MINISTRY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS EXCEEDS MUCH MORE IN GLORY. (2 Corin. 3:8-9)
Isaiah 45:8—Rain down, you heavens, from above, and LET THE SKIES POUR DOWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; let the earth open, LET THEM BRING FORTH SALVATION, and let RIGHTEOUSNESS spring up together. I, THE LORD HAVE CREATED IT.

Blessings and peace be to you in the Name of JESUS The Christ. I see between the lines. Great poem, very interesting. May this poem bless and continue to encourage all who read it.AMEN.
I'm with Vicki, Sharon... I rejoice in your love of God's Word! I woke up this morning with a hunger to bathe in the Word of God. Sure, I could have gone directly to the Word. But just look at the outline you've given us... all of it the Word, and yet, in an order that ministers to specific areas... just the boost I needed. You just never know to whom/what/how/when the Lord will use you to meet needs. My advice -- run with what He gave you! And while you're at it, may our Lord and Savior give you the strength and vigor to beat those chariots back down the mountain with His Word tucked firmly in your belt. Hugs! Treava
