O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens….When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? Psalm 8 (AMP)
Grace upon Grace Poured Out upon Me
By Effie Darlene Barba
Jesus the word the truth and the light
Portrait of God’s perfect Glory-Delight
His Grace upon Grace poured out upon me
That I from these chains- forever set free
The King above Kings lay aside His throne
Because He loved me-my sin to atone
From Glorious splendor to humblest birth
Submitting to pain and sorrows on earth
Imagine the perfectly righteous one
God’s precious delight-His Dear Beloved Son
Would willingly choose to suffer such loss
Beaten, rejected He died on a cross
What kind of love, oh how can it be?
He suffered all this for you and for me
Despite all my sin and my foolish pride
He bids me to come-in His love abide
Open my eyes, Lord, always to see
Your love and your Glory there before me
Laying aside all my foolish desires
Until you’re the treasure my soul aspires
Jesus the Word the Truth and the Light
Portrait of God’s perfect Glory-Delight
His Grace upon Grace poured out upon me
That I from these chains forever am free
God loves You. He is standing with open arms, desiring to fill your heart with His peace and His Joy. Won’t you say yes, today?
