Divinely Astounded
Divinely astounded
my spirit, with awed reverence
gratefully exalts* the magnificent Almighty
while enthralled blissfully midst heavenly aria
heralded by angelic hosts in glorious adoration’s worship.
Reigning with jubilant triumph
prevailing over my redeemed soul
once grievously astounded by iniquities’ guilt…
Scriptural faith granted by the Saviour Whom I trust
exudes assured aura of unwavering virtuous championship.
With earnest beseeching
to the Lord I then yield my heart
now hallowed and righteously astounded
for compassion-driven service against vain attraction
inflicting to my stewardship --- perpetual aching of celestial loss.
Thus, when carnality creeps in
astounding my flesh with arrogance-flair
hoisting self upon human nature’s dominion…
I entreat the Holy Ghost for His engulfing clemency
To keep me bound, expectant for His meekness zeal-revival.
*Psalm 118:28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
