"O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee shall all flesh come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest, and causest to approach unto Thee" (Psalm 65:2-4). "This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:8,9).
Thank you, Lord, for making plain
The way that You will purge:
For men's commandments are found vain,
Which mere traditions urge.
You've heard each humble sinner pray
To You, Lord Jesus Christ,
And all their sins You purged away
When You were sacrificed.
There is no other way to come
Than humbly as we are.
Religion may seem right to some,
But still their hearts are far.
By Your grace our hearts draw near,
And by Your grace alone.
Your perfect love has cast out fear
And drawn us to Your throne!
