Under the current global signs of the times, let us enjoy a sneak peek of a part from another original song from Our Own Voice:
He doth command the silent deep
1
Bm/G D
He doth command the silent deep,
Bm/G D
When He created, heavens and the earth.
Bm/G D
Made for Him, I, His created being.
Bm/G D
For now I liveth, freely to choose Him!
A Bm
And from his side, He built a vessel
Em7 A A7
A perfect counterpart as His desire!
F# Bm
Hidden in Him, this kernel of life!
Em7 A D
Jehovah God, I’ll cast this light!
Chorus:
GD
Now I see!
F# Bm
More in me, contrast shines forth His beauty!
Em7 A D D7
He’s the diamond in this dark, black age
GD
Now I see!
F# Bm
From His face, I will never gaze away!
Em7 A D
I’ll court my Lord until the end.
2
Bm/G D
As terrors roar beyond control
Bm/G D
They do remind me, that He is my King!
Bm/G D
Lo, this incurable disease!
Bm/G D
Once it has plagued me, now He redeemed me!
A Bm
I stand and watch them each pass over.
Em7 A A7
Seated with Him I fly above it all!
F# Bm
Restored my life back to eternal
Em7 A D
My Savior Lord has conquered me!
3
Bm/G D
From mountaintops to earth below,
Bm/G D
Infused and glowing, with-His humanity.
Bm/G D
Chosen, elected, sanctified,
Bm/G D
Set apart was I, ruling at His side.
A Bm
Away, He’s taken all my leaven,
Em7 A A7
And built a home without a single stain!
F# Bm
At peace, no fear, nor expectation
Em7 A D
But watchful for Him, I will be!
4
Bm/G D
As His seed, small, but mighty be.
Bm/G D
Re-flecting His image, mirror of His glory.
Bm/G D
No crows will e’er reside on me.
Bm/G D
No fruit will they take, my faith will shake them.
A Bm
For Him, I’ve been predestinated.
Em7 A A7
Prevailing by His side for it is time!
F# Bm
I will escape with my Beloved!
Em7 A D
Yes, He’s my diamond in the dark!
