God Has Spoken

 

 

No new revelation

It’s all in the Word,

Be cautious, I warn you,

Don’t be absurd.

 

No new thing

God has done it all,

And He inspired Moses, Isaiah,

John and Paul.

 

There are more

That He did inspire,

I entreat you in His Word

To enquire.

 

 

By His prophets

God has spoken,

And through all the apostles

By Jesus chosen.

 

 

Be aware, I warn you,

Don’t be absurd,

All God wants us to know

Is in His Word.

 

By prophets/apostles

Did He speak

But by His Son, in these times,

Does he speak.

 

We have the Word

Both living and written

As well as the Holy Spirit-

God has spoken.

 

God has spoken:

Hence, our only revelation,

And God has also spoken

Via His inspiration.

 

Holy men wrote

Whom God made holy

And they wrote as God dictated

By inspiration only.

 

 

Not by brilliance

Or by their own choice

But by God-inspired direction

As they heard His voice.

 

God’s only revelation

By God’s inspiration

And thirdly we have come to

Holy Spirit’s illumination.

 

The Spirit of Truth

Has already come

And we need to trust him

And no other one.

 

For there’s one God

And one Christ who came

As well as the one Holy Spirit

Who speaks in Jesus’ name.

 

 

‘Tis he that enlightens

And illuminates

The pages of Holy Scripture

Of which we partake.

 

The bread of life

Which is Jesus, the Word,

By whom we have salvation.

Haven’t you heard?
