Lord, there are mornings when I come before You and feel too small and broken to know what to give You.
I am reminded that this is all You ask.
And so I give You myself, small and broken. And I say "Thank You for the cross," knowing it cannot be said too many times.
Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing
Poured out to death
Many times, I've wondered at Your gift of life
I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again
And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You,
Once again I pour out my life
Now You are exhalted to the highest place
King of the Heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I'll marvel at Your saving grace
I'm full of praise once again
Oh I'm full of praise once again
And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my friend
And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

I absolutely LOVE Matt Redman, but I love Jesus more. Thank you Jesus for the cross. You're right Anne, it can't be said enough. He likes us broken and desperate. I guess that's lucky for me and for you Anne.

ReplyDeleteI think perhaps He finds us irresistible when we're broken, and therefore allows it.
No luck. All grace.
The cross, my saving grace.
