I woke up with these words on my lips.
My life is your yours
My hope is in you only
My heart you own
You make this sinner holy.
They are from a song called Your Glory by All Sons and Daughter, which by the way is one of my favorite worship bands.
The words continue like this.
Because you glory is so beautiful
I fall onto my knees in awe
and the heartbeat of my life
is to worship in your light
cause you glory is so beautiful
The rest of the song just gets better and it ends with a call back to the old hymn ‘Nothing but the Blood’. Sometimes, well most of the time, I just can’t even figure out why the Christ would die on the cross for my sins and why his blood would be shed for me, someone who continues to finds ways not to obey the simple set of instructions he set out for us.
oh, that glory, that righteousness, that goodness, that blood.
Wow.
It brings tears to my eyes and leaves me speechless.
So, let it wash you today. Let his goodness be the reason you live today a little differently than yesterday, washed clean and righteous in the eyes of the Creator!
And then fall onto your knees in awe..
7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 KJV
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake. 1 Peter 1:18-19 NLT
