I found this stuck in one of my books. I had copied it from some Sovereign Grace magazine years ago. It was written by Daniel Parks and it blesses me each time I read it.
ALL THINGS TOGETHER WORK FOR GOOD
A Metered Meditation of Romans 8:28 - 32
To be sung to the tune of
"There is a Fountain Filled With Blood"
All things together work for good. To them who love the Lord;
Yea, e'en to them who have been called according to God's Word.
God foreknew all His chosen race before the world began.
And purposed for them all things good by His foreordained plan.
Whom God forknew He also did predestinate to be
Conformed unto the image of His Son for all to see.
Then these predestinated ones, though deep in sin and shame.
Were called - and that effectually - when God the Spirit came.
Man's condemnation was so great that soon all should have died.
But for all these the Spirit called, God also justified.
God justified! Yes! He is great! His depths no man can know.
But God's work still was not complete - He glorified also!
What shall we say for all these things? What shall our answer be?
'Tis this, "If God be for us, then, who can against us be?"
He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him to be
The Savior for His chosen race, works good and wondrously.
