I lift my hands to you, O Lord, a child in need of grace,
For I have sinned against You, and I’ve lost Your warm
embrace;
A broken, contrite heart, my God, is all that I can bring -
Oh! Overwhelming mercy! To Christ I’ll ever cling!
I lift my hands to you, O Lord, a child in need of help,
This pit is dark and caked in mud, I’m not sure how I fell;
I cry out for a touch from You, please come and rescue me!
Oh! Overwhelming Deliverer! You came and set me free!
I lift my hands to you, O Lord, a child in wondrous awe,
I’ve seen You and beheld Your power, I’ll praise You
evermore!
May my prayers and lifting of my hands be worthy in Your
eyes,
Oh! Overwhelming Love! You accept my sacrifice!
based on Lamentations 3:40-42; Psalm 28:1-2; Psalm 63:1-5; Psalm 141:1-2

My dear Diana, how often I have found myself in this situation. Not knowing how or when I fell. I guess it all happens when I stop crying for grace.
ReplyDeleteYes, "To Christ I'll ever cling"
Love you dearly <3
Love you, Becky - may we never cease crying for grace ♥
DeleteThis is evidence of how the Word of God dwells in you richly, Diana. Even your poetic cry is uplifting and redemptive.
ReplyDeleteA tribute to the God we serve!

Love you E - lifting my hands to Him with you ♥
DeleteDearest Diana,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a little of your beautiful soul in this post. Though all things call for our rejection, in Christ, all things plead for our acceptance. (That's in the Valley of Vision somewhere!) I am praying for you and thank God for your faithfulness. All my love and blessings dear friend!
Bless you, sweet sister, I love the Valley of Vision! Amazing that not only are we accepted, but that in Christ, all things PLEAD for our acceptance, wow! Love to you ♥
DeleteLove you Diana, thank you for sharing your heart with this. Like Christina I am so thankful for your faithfullness, and that you are my Sister in Christ. Love you
ReplyDeleteSweet T, I thank God you're my sister in Christ - and that I shall soon be able to hug you ♥
DeleteHow amazing! I am really really looking forward to that hug my precious friend.
DeleteDiana, these are beautiful expressions of the continual battles we all face. Your honesty is refreshing and encouraging.
ReplyDeleteBlessings sister.
Love you, Diane - one day, just think, our hands will be glorified as we lift them before Him! ♥
DeleteBeautiful! Not knowing how I fell... that strikes a familiar chord. And yes, He always accepts our sacrifice because He has accepted and approved and blessed Christ's sacrifice already, wholeheartedly and forever! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you, Petra, what sweet sweet truth that is of the all-sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice! ♥
