“Thou
hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance. For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath…
O satisfy us early with Thy mercy… And let the beauty of the LORD our God be
upon us” (Psalm 90:8-17). “In the fear
of the LORD is strong confidence:
and His children shall have a place of refuge… The righteous hath hope in his
death” (Proverbs 14:26,32). “Jesus
Christ… is Lord of all… To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His
name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:36,43).
What
hope can there be in our God’s holy sight
Where
all of our sins are so clearly in view?
Our
sins call for wrath; God must do what is right!
In
light of His justice, now what can we do?
How
quickly our days pass away now in wrath:
Our
end is in sight from the day we begin.
Our
soul is condemned! Is there no other
path
Which
we may pursue to escape from our sin?
Praise
God for this question produced by our fear
That
leads us to call upon God for a Savior,
For
Christ is our Refuge, and He will draw near
To
save every sinner who seeks for His favor!
Our
Savior has met the demands of the Law
As
all of the prophets have thus testified,
And
thus He is able to save those He’ll draw
Because
for their justification He died.
It’s
not by our own righteous effort or duty
That
we may be sure we’ve escaped condemnation,
But
rather because of our Savior’s own beauty
With
which He has clothed us in so great salvation.
O
Lord, we give thanks for the hope that is sure
That
heaven is home for each soul that You save.
How
strong is this confidence, still more secure
Because
You triumphantly rose from the grave!
