Growing Greater

“My heart standeth in awe of Thy word.  I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil… Great peace have they which love Thy law” (Psalm 119:161-165).  “The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.  The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble” (Proverbs 4:18,19).  “Thy name is as ointment poured forth… Draw me, we will run after Thee… we will be glad and rejoice in Thee, we will remember Thy love” (Song of Solomon 1:3,4).  “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58). 

I’m standing more and more in awe

At such great riches in God’s Word!

Great peace have they who love His Law,

As they explore what they have heard.

We’re walking on the upward path

That shines from heaven more and more

As sinners yet draw near to wrath,

The lake of fire yet in store.

The longing of our God’s great love

Was manifested on the cross: 

He left His majesty above

To ransom souls from endless loss!

So by His love He draws our hearts

To run to Him for our salvation,

And that is when our worship starts

That grows with greater adoration.

We think upon our Savior’s name,

Which is as fragrant ointment poured.

Our love cannot remain the same,

As we are worshipping our Lord.

The things of earth become so dim

As we consider Jesus Christ.

For no one else compares to Him

Who for our souls was sacrificed!

So let us each be therefore found

Still steadfast and unmovable

Until we hear the trumpet sound  

That calls up every ransomed soul!

Until that day a short time later

When we are caught up then with You,

O Lord, we would be growing greater

In faithfulness in all we do.

That day, in just a little while,

Is fast approaching, Lord, we know.

We look for Your approving smile

As in Your grace and truth we grow.
