Beautiful Benefits

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death” (Psalm 68:19,20). 

How countless are the blessings poured
On those who trust in God our Savior.
Our benefits from Christ the Lord
Are daily loaded with His favor.

Behold the God of our salvation:
He came to take our sin away,
To bear our load of condemnation,
And load us with His grace each day.

What shall we say about these things
Bestowed so freely on our soul
That God in mercy daily brings?
His benefits are beautiful!

So as we yet have any breath,
Let us praise Him for His love
Who has delivered us from death
And made us fit to dwell above.

His benefits have met each need
In life and yet beyond the grave:
His truth has made us free indeed;
His grace eternally will save!

O Lord, Your benefits exhaust
The highest praise we may endeavor,
For we who once we cursed and lost
By grace are saved and blest forever!
