O LORD, Your arms are a rope around us;
Your eyes penetrate our souls;
Your words, they never wound us
You keep us safe and sound and whole…
Yes, You hold our hands so tightly
As pilgrims passing through;
You comfort, and lead, and guide us
Especially when we’re beset by the blues…
The Lamb’s Book of Life
Is the most beloved Book ever,
For in it, O God, You put pen to paper,
Penned our names so we would never
Know the despair of damnation,
The horrors or hell;
Yes, that cauldron called the lake of fire
Where darkness and the devil will dwell…
Oh yes, You melt out hearts into mush
So we can do Your will,
So we can love You for evermore.
And our love like time will stand still…
But the wicked and the evil will rue the day
They spat upon Your cross,
The day they said, “No!” to You, LORD,
Then made them mud out of clay;
When they could have been adored
For all eternity,
But instead chose the darkness dwelling within,
To the so-called gods they obey…
So, thank You, LORD,
For putting it in writing
That we will always be Yours
And that we should not feel the lightning
Of Your wrath when it finally roars,
Oh, the wonder…
Our names are written in Your Book!!!
We can barely believe it
So, we must take a second look,
For You blotted out all our sins,
Sat and played poker with us,
Yes, You stacked the cards in our favor
And we won with a royal flush
Oh, how awesome is Your love
On those who care to seek you
On those whose prayer is to go ever deeper
Deeper, yes…deeper and deeper!!!
By Jove, we surely can feel Your love
Beating behind our breast,
No longer like a rock inside,
Reviving us, yet giving us rest…
So, please help us to abide in You,
Your commandments, and Your will,
So we won’t mess around meddling with mischief,
And break Your heart until
You have no choice but to discipline us
To teach us Your righteous ways,
Till You turn our scary storms
Into glorious Son-shiny days…
Oh, and please help us to remember
That in the secret place You dwell,
And to learn to listen for Your still, small voice,
‘Cuz You surely are real swell…
Yes, You’re a flaming fire,
Yes fire, yet we never get burned;
Only the hardness in our hears is seared
And our sins are finally spurned…
For You’ve given us all the power
To set loose all our sins,
To say “No” in the freedom of the Spirit of Christ
And to make us into Your kin…
And thanks for all the hard work
You’ve hewn in our broken hearts,
For Your mercies, they are new each morning;
Your compassions fail not…
Your burden brings no burden,
For to serve You is our reward;
Yes, obedience is an act of worship
As we pilgrims pass through this world…
And when we make it to heaven
When we depart this worldly life
Oh yes, we have hope to look forward to,
No more sin or sickness or strife…
Yes, every day is the Sabbath,
Because we rest in You.
And because we love both You and Your Word
There’s nothing we can’t do…
May our prayers of praise and thanksgiving
Be a sweet savor unto You,
Just like the incense I burn to You, LORD,
Because You appreciate little things like that, too…
Let not Thy mercy and truth forsake us;
Please bind them round our necks;
Yes, write those words on our willful hearts,
Or we shall surely become shipwrecks!!!
For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Just like a father whose kid is His delight,
For Your discipline makes disciples out of us all;
So, search our souls with Your light!
And yes, let Your love like the morning mist
Drop down on us like dew;
And help us to remember the God who adores us;
So noble, so faithful, so true…
And help us, please, to be righteous;
Just don’t let us know that we are,
So we won’t add spiritual pride to our sins,
But blaze brilliantly as the stars…
To conclude, O LORD, yes, loving You
We just say a heartfelt “Thanks,”
For putting peace into our hearts
And promises we can take to the bank…
We love Ya, LORD—LOTS!!!
