And you said, ‘Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen God speak with man, and man still live.’
Deuteronomy 5:24
As Israel stood
at the foot of Horeb
receiving the Law
filled with awe
they knew they’d seen God’s glory
they knew they’d seen His greatness
Moses again explained
to those gathered again
all the Law made clear
as they all stood near
the God of all glory
the God of all greatness
A voice from the fire
God’s Law then required
obedience to what was heard
submission to God’s holy word
from the voice of God’s glory
from the voice of God’s greatness
God spoke with a man
who surprisingly could still stand
holding tablets of stone
with authority alone
rooted in God’s glory
anchored in God’s greatness
On another mountain stood
the Savior Who would
at Calvary free us from the Law
so all who on Him call
find God’s redeeming glory
know God’s gracious greatness
