Reformed Times of 16th Century
These times way back in 16th century
when at the reformation’s heart
God’s hand was showing itself so real
the power of the Lord evident in no small part
There in Geneva capital of the Swiss
living there on French borders east side
the church of God had great influence
in politics, education, morally crossing the tide
Great opportunities in hearing true preaching
men of God like Calvin, Zwingli and Farel
such a blessing received from God above
this hit my heart like a pierced arrow
There it was marvellous to see such change
within the corridors of power so great
law’s brought in for good of the people
the divine will purposed fulfilled senate
Such a feast of real spirituality
to dwell there among it all
this indeed heaven upon earth
made one feel like apostle Paul!
