Perceiving His Piercing


"Praise ye the LORD… Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness" (Psalm 150:1,2).  "Go in the way of understanding… The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).  "They shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him" (Zechariah 12:10).  "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.  Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me" (John 6:45). 

As we perceive what God has done,
Beholding the historic facts,
We're led to worship God the Son
And praise Him for His mighty acts. 

As we perceive the excellence
Of Jesus Christ, the great I AM,
We ponder His omnipotence
And yet His meekness as the Lamb. 

We see the piercing of our Lord,
As Zechariah had foretold,
As God's own Spirit is outpoured
To show us Christ, whom we behold.  

Lord, by Your Word, we are perceiving
Your piercing by that Roman spear. 
Your remnant, too, shall see it, grieving,
When, by Your Spirit, they draw near.
