"His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD" (2 Chronicles 17:6). "Behold, bless ye the LORD… Lift up your hands… and bless the LORD" (Psalm 134:1,2). "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged" (Proverbs 16:6). "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God… Ye know that He [Jesus Christ] was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin… Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down his life for us" (1 John 3:1,5,16).
As we have
paused in meditation
Upon the love of
Christ explored,
We lift our
hearts in adoration
As we behold and
bless the Lord.
What love is
this so strong that urged
Our Lord to leave
His majesty
To bring us
grace and truth that purged
The stain of our
iniquity?
Behold the
manner of this love
The Father has
bestowed on us
That we might
dwell with Him above
As sons of God
victorious!
Lord Jesus, as Your
cross displays
Your love which
we in part behold,
We bless Your
name with thanks and praise,
And know the
half has not been told!
