Not Worthy yet Not Worthless

"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:4). "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof" (Matthew 8:8).

Lord of heaven, I am earthly,
Full of sin, and so unworthy.
Yet I cannot worthless be,
For You have come to visit me!

Lord of heaven, what is man,
That Your heart of love would plan
To visit him to make him whole,
And give Your life to save his soul?

Lord of heaven, Lord of earth,
Thus we have discerned our worth,
Yet our unworthiness as well,
For sin had made us fit for hell.

Lord of heaven, Lord of love,
Soon we'll be with You above,
And then for an eternal span
We'll ponder there the worth of man.
