| Forgiven for my Sins
From the cross of Calvary your grace calls to me and
deals with my sin,
washes me clean,
renews my spirit,
strengthens my body,
lights a fire within me,
focuses my every thought, utterance and deed and
teaches me of your inexpressible love for me.
How Great Thou Art
Lord without you I am an outcast and lonely
without you I am filled with shame
with you I see my Father-God and friend
without you I hide and tremble in fear
with you I open my mouth in petition and praise
without you I am lost in a consuming fire
with you all is love and my soul is at peace
without you is the gaping blackness of hell and eternal anguish
in Jesus the gates are barred
without you is the horror of failure
with Jesus is the glory of a boundless horizon
without you terror and dismay consume me
with you ever accusation turns into joy and peace
and everything from you is enjoyed with thanksgiving
Praise be to you for your grace and for the gift of Jesus Christ
Amen |
