"Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?... According to Thine own heart, hast Thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things" (1 Chronicles 17:16,19). "A Friend loveth at all times, and a Brother is born for adversity" (Proverbs 17:17). "The kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared… According to His mercy He saved us… that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life" (Titus 3:4-7).
Now
who are we that God would show
Such
love that brought us hitherto?
According
to His heart, we know,
He
did all that He said He'd do.
According
to His heart He planned
To
rescue us and pay a price
Far greater than
we understand
When He became
our Sacrifice.
How kindly did
our Lord descend
With greater
love than any other
To be the
sinner's dearest Friend
And not ashamed
to be our Brother!
Lord, hitherto Your
heart has found
A way to bring
us to this place
As heirs with
riches that abound
To sinners whom You
save by grace!
