Absolutely Awesome


“My heart standeth in awe of Thy Word.  I rejoice at Thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil” (Psalm 119:161,162).  “Wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it… For whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD” (Proverbs 8:11,35).  “Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever” (2 Peter 3:18).

My heart now greatly stands in awe
Of matchless wisdom in God’s Word! 
I meditate upon His Law
And how my heart with joy is stirred!

It is like coming to a field
Where foes have all been put to flight,
And there the spoil is revealed
Which Christ has won, Who fought our fight! 

The Law of God portrays the Christ
In all the tabernacle shown;
The shadows of Him sacrificed
Depict His awesome work foreknown. 

There’s nothing that can be desired
That’s worth comparing to our Savior! 
Fulfilling all His Law required,
He died to justly grant His favor.

Our absolutely awesome Lord
Invites us now seek His face! 
There’s so much more to be explored
As we behold His truth and grace!

O Lord, our time is far too short,
And human words cannot express,
The awesomeness of Your report
By which we claim Your righteousness!

Lord, thank You for Your awesome love
That held You to that cross of shame
To grant salvation from above
To all who call upon Your name.
