Celebrating
my 40th Born Again Birthday!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
“Judah
said… I will be surety for him… then let me bear the blame forever” (Genesis
43:8,9). “O sing unto the LORD a new
song… show forth His salvation from day to day… Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name… Be Surety for Thy servant for good” (Psalm
96:1-8, 119:122). “Evil men understand
not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things” (Proverbs 28:5). “We pray always for you… that the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, according to the
grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thessalonians 1:11,12).
As
Judah to his father said
That
he would be a surety,
We
see a type of Christ so led
To
bear our blame eternally.
In
Judah’s vow and his endeavor
We
see a shadow here of Christ:
“Then
let me bear the blame forever!”
Behold
our Savior sacrificed.
Though
men who will reject the Lord
Will
never understand such things,
There
is from God a sure reward
That
seeking Him in earnest brings.
The
Lord imparts a song that’s new
That
thrills us daily with its theme
With
Christ our Surety in view
Who
died for those He would redeem.
Now
let our Savior’s wondrous name
Be
glorified from day to day!
Our
Surety who bore our blame
Is
greater than we can convey!
Is
not this Gift Unspeakable
From
Him who gave HIMSELF for us?
Does
not His mercy thrill the soul
With
His salvation glorious?
O
Lord, according to Your grace
You
stooped in love to pay the price
And
thus became our Hiding Place,
The
only One that would suffice!
O
Lord, our Surety above,
We
gather by Your invitation
To
draw near with adoring love
And
thank You for so great salvation!
O
Lord, as we approach Your throne
To
worship You with all our hearts,
We
glorify Your name alone
With
joy Your presence now imparts.
Be
glorified, Lord, as You should,
In
those You saved from coming wrath,
And
be our Surety for good
To
show the lost Your saving path.
