Life From Death - Re-posted

Although it slumbered peacefully,

Death smoldered at its heart,
And in the quiet light of dawn
The mountain blew apart.
 
It shattered the world in its reach,
Blasted it past all hope,
Destruction flourished in its wake
On every hill and slope.

But time has passed and in its course
God’s love has shown its face,
For where destruction once had ruled,
New life bursts in its place.
 
So, though the world seems to be lost,
Do not let your faith fail.
For God alone calls life from death,
And His love will prevail.
 
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
