Until the Time That God Ordains
Death cannot have a man of God
However hard it tries
Before the time that God appoints
And then His servant dies
Let Pharaoh rise or Herod fear
The babe will live and grow
Let lions come and giants rise
They’ll fall before his blow
Let famine strike or sickness spread
God keeps him safely through
Let mobs cast stones or shipwrecks come
His strength is always new
Let storms arise and councils plot
He’s safe as he can be
Until the time that God ordains
To grant him victory

“Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come.” John 7:30
For months now I have prayed for the Fathers heart to become my heart. To transform me into a vessel of His love and compassion.
I didn’t understand why I cry so much and I feel so broken inside. He showed me Jeremiah the weeping prophet and his love for Gods people.
I felt lead to look up in scripture why Jesus wept on my IPhone.
It took me to your sight and your poem, Jesus tears and his compassion for the world
Thank you so much for sharing with me.
What a beautiful prayer to ask for the Father’s heart to become your heart – one the Lord loves to answer. May you come to see more of His heart of love and care for you as you show His love and compassion to others.
