Charles Kingsley Quote

Music has been called the speech of the angels; I will go farther and call it the speech of God himself.

From Psalm 29:3-4:  “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over mighty waters.  The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.”

Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) was an English-born pastor who also shared his thoughts and actions as a historian, poet, novelist, and social reformer.

Witnessing humility

Heart’s very special place

 

Of one mind with Jesus

Taking obedient path

Humbleness guides faith’s sight

Living within dignity

Tomorrow’s quiet brook

Mercy Delivers

From Psalm 107:1-2:  “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.  Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those He redeemed from trouble.”

Facing journey’s many troubles

Wilderness darkness creeping in

Praying to heavens high above

God’s unshaken love, faith’s linchpin

 

Praising God for enduring grace

Thirsty hunger, now quenched and fed

Sharing thanks for every sunrise

Faith nourished with His daily bread

 

Witnessing God’s benevolence

His wondrous works shall never end

Turning deserts into rivers

Faithful courage shall now defend

 

Breaking free from sin’s chains of gloom

Salvation descends from heavens

Shattering enemy’s falsehoods

Taste of freedom, blessed with leaven

 

Redeeming from journey’s troubles

God’s mercy delivers His light

Covering landscape with His peace

Darkness gives up her final fight

From Psalm 107:8-9:  “Let them thank the Lord for His steadfast love, for His wonderful works to humankind.  For He satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry He fills with good things.”
