GOD’S ART IS FLUID

Man as an artist is static.
He writes and his work is “done.”
He paints and it is “finished.”
He builds – and the prize is won.
God, by honorable, Awesome contrast,
Has art both fluid and formal.
Today God’s works are like “so;”
Tomorrow, He redefines “normal.”

In sorrow I wandered, my spirit oppressed,
But now I am happy—securely I rest;
From morning till evening glad carols I sing,
And this is the reason—I walk with the King.
Refrain
I walk with the King, hallelujah!
I walk with the King, praise His Name!
No longer I roam, my soul faces home,
I walk and I talk with the King.
2. For years in the fetters of sin I was bound,
The world could not help me—no comfort I found;
But now like the birds and the sunbeams of spring,
I’m free and rejoicing—I walk with the King.
3. O soul near despair in the lowlands of strife,
Look up and let Jesus come into your life;
The joy of salvation to you He would bring—
Come into the sunlight and walk with the King.
– words by James Rowe, circa 1913.
– music B. D. Ackley
