Maker and Master

"Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments" (Psalm 119:73).

Lord, You made and fashioned me;
No one knows me like You do.
Your commandments make me free;
You have shown me what is true.

Every need You've met with love,
In joy or sorrow, peace or strife.
You descended from above,
Laying down for me Your life.

This much I can understand:
Only Love would pay that price!
I can trust the Heart that planned
And would pay that Sacrifice!

My Maker, Master, precious Lord,
My God and Savior, my Defender:
There's still much more to be explored,
And yet much more I would surrender!
