My God, I come in humble awe
And thank You for Your love
So vast, so deep, so wonderful
It lifts my heart above.
That God Himself would come to earth
Rejected, tested, poor,
Then take my sin with all its shame
To open heaven’s door.
That Jesus Christ would bear my guilt
And wear it on the tree –
Unjustly lifted up to die
To show His love for me.
…
He’ll give me all the strength I need
For all that lies ahead,
And I can trust He’ll really do
The very thing He’s said.
Though I can see the coming storm
And hear the thunder roll,
I know I’m in my Father’s hand
And He will keep my soul.
I’ll never have tomorrow’s grace
Or face tomorrow’s need;
I’ll rest in God my Father’s plan
And let His goodness lead.
…
My works can never save me
Or pay the debt I owe
To get me into heaven
Or wash me white as snow.
Each moment’s full allegiance
Belongs to God my King
And can’t make up for past ones –
There’s nothing spare to bring.
My best attempts are tainted,
My purest thoughts are flawed,
So on my own I’m helpless
To try to get to God.
…
I cried to You in time of need,
You heard my earnest prayer –
From heaven’s height sent grace to help
And proved Your tender care.
You gave me strength when I was weak
Just like You said You would;
I couldn’t do what lay ahead,
But then I found You could.
So here I raise a song of thanks
And lift my heart in praise:
The Lord has done great things for me
And I will trust His ways.
…
Too good to be true
Were people the pledge
Of such an amazing salvation,
But God is the One
The Scriptures allege
Who offers such wondrous redemption.
There’s nothing too hard
That God cannot do –
There’s nothing to do but believe it;
He cannot tell lies,
His promise is true –
There’s nothing to do but receive it.
…
The day we sinned against Him
And broke God’s law and heart,
He made a lasting promise
To save us from the start.
His love is so abundant,
His grace so deep and wide,
He promised us a Savior
The day we fell and died.
As God pronounced sin’s curses
He spoke a blessing too
Which shows His loving purpose
To rescue me and you.
