Savior Exalted, Self Examined


"Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do" (Exodus 6:1).  "Praise ye the LORD... the praise of all His saints... a people near unto Him. Praise ye the LORD" (Psalm 148:1,14).  "My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways" (Proverbs 23:26).  "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" (2 Corinthians 13:5). 

The Lord told Moses he would see
That God would do as He had said.
This confidence shall also be
In every heart that's Spirit led. 

We praise the Lord who brought us near,
Exalting Him who paid the price. 
We worship Him with holy fear
And thank Him for His sacrifice. 

The Lord has drawn our hearts with praise
For all He's done and yet will do
As we  observe His perfect ways
And give our hearts to Him anew. 

O Savior, in Your exaltation,
We taste the fellowship above,
And in our self-examination,
We find ourselves constrained by love!
