Asking Great Things of a Great God

From this morning's devotional:
Nothing exceeds Thy power,
Nothing is too great for Thee to do,
Nothing too good for Thee to give.
Infinite is Thy might, boundless Thy love,
limitless Thy grace, glorious Thy saving name.
Let angels sing for sinners repenting, prodigals restored,
backsliders reclaimed, Satan's captives released,
blind eyes opened, broken hearts bound up, the
despondent cheered, the self-righteous stripped,
the formalist driven from a refuge of lies,
the ignorant enlightened, the saints built up in their holy faith.
I ask great things of a great God.

- from "The Great God", Valley of Vision
