Background

If Pilgrim walked a thousand leagues, o’er coals and shards of broken pain.
If once to look the narrow way, with questioned hope and self restraint.
If right and left were set before, and straight the way made good and clear.
With ever thoughts of ease did labour on, refusing all the Cross to...

"And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7 NASB). καὶ ἔπλασεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον χοῦν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐνεφύσησεν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ πνοὴν ζωῆς, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν...
I looked and saw the Potters’ clay.
Conceived in all its worth and purpose.
To comprehend such fine intent, was made.
Behold in all that beauty measured true,
The Workman did with skill to labour all.
Its lovely hues and colours set to good.
The outer garment bright, its form well hewn.
Its...
Accusation

Undoubted measure in measure full conceived.
Betided truth of nothing left for gain or hope,
Complete the fall that fall did make to press.

How great thy works O Lord made full,
Though men with spirits born again and heeding not,
Find sudden unexpected loss, laid low with grief.

Lest once despising that great love,
Be found in Him a cast away.
