“Aaron… ran into the midst of the congregation… and made an atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed” (Numbers 16:47,48). “Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope” (Psalm 16:9). “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost” (Matthew 18:11).
It
was through sin the plague began
Which
would destroy the congregation,
But
Aaron, with atonement, ran
And
stayed the plague with God’s salvation.
He
stood between the dead and living,
And
thus portrayed our Lord and Savior.
This
illustration God was giving
Foreshadowed
thus His saving favor.
The
plague of sin is in our midst;
Yet
many will not count the cost!
The
Lord, whom sinners still resist,
Now
stands between the saved and lost!
How
greatly does my heart rejoice,
My
soul and flesh are glad as well,
That
Christ has offered me the choice
To
trust in Him, escaping hell!
For
me my Lord was sacrificed;
There
was no other saving path.
I
praise my Savior Jesus Christ
Who
ran to rescue me from wrath!
O
Lord, I see You stand between
The
souls who have eternal life
And
those in death, unsaved, unclean,
Exchanging
peace for hopeless strife!
O
Lord, I thank You that You came
To
save me from eternal loss!
You
ran to rescue me from shame
By
dying on that awful cross!
Lord,
help me now to run the race
With
patience, yet with urgency,
To
show the lost Your saving grace
That
rescues us eternally!
