Behold, Christ Stands

two roundels to commemorate the US National Day of Prayer, May 5, 2022 Theme: Exalt the Lord Who Has Established Us Behold, Christ stands, forgiving sin. Walk with Him - exalt our Savior - Hallow Him with thanks freely giv’n. Behold, Christ stands. The world's words leave us in chagrin, wretched, futile in its allure. When God’s Spirit abides within Jesus can establish - secure what comments can leave in tailspin. Render true gold, refined, made pure. Behold, Christ stands. Thanks be to God, worthy of praise in Him is all knowledge - wisdom Unto His insights, all hands raise. Thanks be to God. Upon our knees, in prayer we gaze at His great mystery wherefrom He sent His Son. He sets ablaze our hearts’ devotion to succumb to suffering, standing amazed at God’s power to overcome. Thanks be to God. May 5, 2022 To some, a single National Day of Prayer seems trivial. I do not see it as such; I pray every day and trust the Almighty God of the the Universe to work all things to the good of those that love and reverence His name.
