Where? Now and Here

Ps.107:8-9Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodnessand for His wonderful works to the children of men!For He satisfies the longing souland fills the hungry soul with goodness! The God of our salvation grants,Where daybreak kindles wicks of graceThe gladness of fresh choice and chanceWhere past and future interlaceTo make the most of Now and HereWhere holy hope and heartache meldTo help us to be of good cheerWhere God's goodness is not withheldBut bids us see His majestyWhere earth and sky thunder His nameTo waken mortal mightilyWhere/for we are called to do the same Arise, arouse the slumb'ring hymnWhere once more mercy is renewedDawn's beckoning attractions brimWhere we are called to gratitudeTo He whose help is above allWhere trouble's trying tempests roll He hears us when we humbly call He satisfies the longing the soul He is worthy of all our praiseHe makes us valiant in faith's fightHe leads us righteously alwaysHe pierces sin's darkness with light Oh God, forbid I fail to bringWhere mercy and morn meet again Love's humble worship offeringWhere all I have is Thine. Amen Oh God, hold not Thy peace from meWhere wicked boast while faith counts loss  Renew the prayer that praises TheeWhere hope is anchored in the cross Oh God, before we face the bar Where righteous judgment is revealedMay all recognize who You areAnd call upon You and be healed Janet Martin Isa.53:5But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
