"[Jacob] bought a parcel of a field... for an hundred pieces of money. And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel [God, the God of Israel; אל אלהי ישראל] (Genesis 33:19,20). "The LORD is round about His people from henceforth even forever" (Psalm 125:2). "Give not... thy ways to that which destroyeth kings" (Proverbs 31:3). "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:20).
As we reflect upon the
year
And thus acknowledge how
God led,
We rightly raise an altar
here
And trust Him for the year
ahead.
Acknowledging that we are
His,
So glad that He is in
control,
We praise the Lord for who
He is
And what He did to save
our soul.
We give to Him our glad
surrender
Beneath the shadow of His
wings,
Acknowledging our great
Defender
Is Lord of lords and King of
kings!
Lord, at this altar here
with You,
Acknowledging Your
sacrifice,
We consecrate ourselves
anew
As those You purchased
with a price.
