During our time of worshipping our God through song last
Sunday, I was overcome by the words “you are my God” in one of the songs. This
Holy, Holy, Holy God, this Almighty God, creator of the heavens and the
universe, who reigns above all in majesty, this Sovereign God who works all things
for His pleasure – He has stooped to reveal Himself to me – wretched sinner that
I am – has opened my eyes to Him, and has had me brought before Him so that I
can call Him “my God”. Mine. I know Him!
Truly, everything in this world pales in comparison to
knowing that you know God, that you are known by Him. He is my treasure. He is
my reward. In Christ I have everything I need. What a God!
What is man that You’re
mindful of him?
For You dwell in a High
Holy place –
Yet when this poor wretch
called You answered me
And now I can feel Your embrace.
Chorus:
My God, my Rock, my Lord,
my King
My hiding place - my soul
must sing!
My shield and refuge, my
Reward,
My heart and flesh cry out
for my Lord!
What is man that You’re
mindful of him?
For Your ears are attentive
to my cry
You revive lowly spirits
and contrite hearts
And now I can stand on the
heights.
What is man that You’re
mindful of him?
You record the tears of my
lament
But in Christ, how my
comfort overflows!
The joy of the Lord is my
strength.

Thank you all, Teresa, Barbara, Liz, Marianne. Yes, I did write this song. And Marianne, I find I much prefer to use scripture in song where I can to express my heartcry to the Lord. Scripture says it so well!
ReplyDelete:) Thought so.
ReplyDeleteDiana, This is very beautiful I love how you put the corresponding references. Now we need to hear the music that goes with it. :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Diana. I agree with Diane, my dear friend. Might we sometime hear the music that goes with it? I would love to learn this and raise my voice in worship of our Lord with your song. Love you. xoxo
