How’s the story to start? How are we to be
renewed? How do we play our part? God’s every hope in us starts, when Jesus’
salvation is imbued.
This salvation of old is the answer to all
our problems of significance.
In struggle you’ll
endure,
If you lean on
Christ – His Grace,
If you truly bend
your heart,
Jesus helps when we seek His face.
At the cross I bend
my knee,
It’s where the Grace
in Christ is felt,
Suddenly He makes me
to see,
The card His sacrifice dealt.
Notice those nail
marks,
And that thorny
crown adorned,
Suddenly in our
minds it sparks,
Everyone Christ has mourned.
In you and me He’s
done,
What only God could
do,
The Father sent His
Son,
To redeem us and make us new.
By this Saviour’s
blood,
His broken body hung
up,
All to deal with our
mud,
To cleanse all who are corrupt.
We have no hope
without,
This Blessed Hope
from above,
Whenever we get
beyond doubt,
His Spirit pours into us His love.
Cherished demise was
enshrined,
In God’s creation
plan,
From well before there
was time,
God planned to become a man.
Think now of that
love,
Go to faith beyond
stumbling block,
To thoughts of
things from above,
And every doubt He’ll knock.
Now to think of what
He took,
The divine purpose
of what was inflicted,
When we take the
time to look,
No longer should we be conflicted.
God did it once,
For everyone to know,
Christ died then for
our sins,
In order that we might grow.
There’s only one way
out of the mess,
That many of our
lives became,
In one movement we
came to address,
A life that was comprehensively lame.
God revealed a broken
life,
So you and I would agree,
We cannot get out of
strife,
Until it is Jesus we finally see.
So, after all this, we might see also know...
In struggle you’ll
endure,
If you lean on
Christ – His Grace,
If you truly bend
your heart,
Jesus helps when we seek His face.
***
Truly, we owe God everything. Not only for
life and our lives, but we owe God everything for every portion of Grace His
life poured out on the cross, that makes our lives anything close to worthy. We
are everything with Him and nothing without Him. God is great in every way.
