"And he [Moses] took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient" (Exodus 24:7). "Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?" (Psalm 58:1). "Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man, who can find?.... Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?" (Proverbs 20:6,9).
"All that the Lord hath said will we do,"
The people in Moses' day said.
History proves that it just wasn't true,
When sin, like a cancer, had spread.
They didn't judge rightly the truth in their case,
Proclaiming their goodness that way.
Did they not rather require God's grace
To cleanse them and help them obey?
How great is our need for God's intervention
To cleanse us and pardon our sins!
Without His grace, our sincerest intention
Must fail before it begins!
We thank You, our faithful and merciful Savior,
For meeting souls' deepest need:
For paying the price for our sinful behavior,
And cleansing by grace whom You lead.
