Through the Bible with Poetry: Ezra
Jon’s thoughts: As I think about the question, “Who can stand before the Lord?” from the vantage point of the resurrection, I cannot help but think that this is a rhetorical question. Who can stand before the Lord? We can stand before the Lord.
Ezra 9:7-9
Who Indeed!
A Call And Response: To be read with more and more confidence as you progress through each line.
The Call is from the people of God.
The Response is from Christ.
Call: Who can stand before the Lord?
Response: On that day, this you will know.
Call: Who indeed can stand before the Lord?
Response: I am in my Father.
Call: We have made such a mess; Such a mess.
Response: Because I live,
Call: It is written. It is written.
Response: You will live also.
Call: We have made such a mess; Such a mess.
Response: You are in me.
Call: Who indeed can stand before the Lord?
Response: I am in you.
All: Who can stand before the Lord?
