Beyond the Basics

"Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations" (Psalm 100:3-5).

Know that the Lord is our God and Creator.
When this basic premise is then understood,
Let us consider His ways even greater,
That we may thankful that our God is good.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving to Christ;
Enter His courts with an offering of praise.
See then the offering there sacrificed;
Behold now the Lamb of God it portrays!

Be thankful to Him who gave Himself thus;
Come, bless His name, who has wrought our salvation!
His mercy is everlasting to us;
His is truth shall endure to each generation!
