Exalted in Excellence

"O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth.... When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained, what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:1,3,4).

How excellent, Lord, is Thy name in the earth,
In the sun, moon, and stars, in a new baby's birth!
Yet why would You visit man? What is he worth?
That you would descend from above?

How excellent, Lord, is Your love that we see,
Eternal, abundant, unbounded, and free!
The Son of God laid down His own life for me!
Be exalted, Oh Lord, in Your love.
