Trembling at the Truth


"I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing" (Psalm 101:1).  "Whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverbs 29:25).  "To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My Word... The men that have transgressed against Me... their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched" (Isaiah 66:2,24).  "Jesus... delivered us from the wrath to come" (1 Thessalonians 1:10). 

We rightly tremble at the thought
Of judgment's fearful consequence
Without the mercy Jesus brought
Upon His cross in our defense! 

We sing with joy to know so well
That grace and truth through Jesus came
And that He rescues those from hell
Who find their refuge in His name! 

By grace there was a day we shook
When we had trembled at His Word.  
To those who fear, the Lord will look
When they obey the truth they've heard.

Lord, thank You for so great salvation
Which You have wrought by truth and grace!
We're trembling now with adoration
Since You became our Hiding Place!
