Folly forsakes the foundation

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Foundational truth
from which wisdom flows
is knowledge and reverence
of the Being who knows
the compass of truth,
how all things began –
our earth and the stars:
through time he can scan.

He sees minds that doubt,
deny that he is,
won’t carefully ponder –
worst folly is this
presuming there’s no-one
far greater than we,
ignoring the prophets
and Christ’s purity

‘in all his thoughts there is no room for God'. Psalm 10:4 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.'Proverbs 9:10

Indeed, "worst folly is this presuming there’s no-one far greater than we", even with all the human rights stuff- who gave us all these supposed rights?

Especially the first stanza is brilliant but both are. Lovely lyrics lovely poetry and profound I would say.

Have good week &&

Hi Rhiannon

Another hymn which is full of meaning .  You should  make a book out of all your hymns.
