Mercifully Mindful

"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:4). "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings" (Proverbs 5:21).

Lord, what is man upon this earth
That You should give him thought,
Or that You ever thought him worth
The ransom that You brought?

How merciful and marvelous,
Oh Lord, that You revealed
That You have set Your love on us,
And by Your stripes we're healed.

Lord, what is man that he should be
The object of salvation?
There's more than human eyes can see,
That drives Your estimation.

The eyes of God that never wander
Behold us from above.
The heart of God will ever ponder
And hold us in His love.
