Tonight in church was an AWEful night of worship. I could not stop thanking God with every beat of my heart and every breath of my body. Communion is a wonderful way to reflect on the SACRIFICE God made for MY life. Inconceivable love! These are just a few of the hymns we sang tonight, so rich and rife with the truth of who God is.
"When I stand in Glory, I will see Your face;
Then I'll sing Your praise FOREVER in that holy place -
Thank you, oh my Father, for giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit 'til the work on Earth is done!"
"Guilty, vile, and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! Can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!"
"See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?"
"Amazing grace, perfect love,
Washing me in a crimson flood -
Flowing down from my wounded King -
This changes everything.
Here I am, save me;
Here I am, change me;
Here I am, mend me;
Here I am,
send me."
"You knew darkness that I might know light;
Wept great tears that mine might be dried..."
How DEEP is the Father's love for US! This truth is fundamentally astounding to me! It is the truth that I REST my HOPE in. It is the LOVE I close my eyes singing to. It is the PURPOSE I build my life around. All else is completely meaningless. So why should I do anything less than wonder at His gift to me? And cast aside all things which hinder me from following Him full-speed. How hard, but how rewarding. He deserves NOTHING less.
