on the subject of God heres a rather well known poem I recorded for my website the other week....you can hear it at the following page.. God moves in mysterious ways by William Cowper 1731 - 1800 (musical sound poem) It is surely qiute strange that the man who wrote one of the most popularly quoted poems of all time William Cowper (pronounced "Cooper") born in Hertfordshire England in 1731 had denounced all his religious beliefs after repeated bouts of mental illness resulting in hallucinations that shattered his faith by the time of his death in 1800....... Regards.. Jim Clark.... All rights are reserved on this sound recording/copyright/patent Jim Clark 2002 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a better taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.
