A Prayer for God's Dramatic Presence
Isaiah 64:1-5
1
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,
2
as when fire kindleth the brushwood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3
When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence.
4
For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for him.
5
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: in them have we been of long time; and shall we be saved?
