“With Reverence"

"With Reverence"

     With reverence, Lord, we come to Thee,

we bow our heads to look Above.

We give our hearts to ponder Thee

with wondering awe and grateful love.

How can it be, Lord, that you love us so

when we have fallen so far?

I do not think that we will ever know

And so we kneel, o Lord.

With reverence, Lord, You thrill our hearts,

how You amaze us evermore.

As by Your Son, such grace imparts

to us a free and open door.

How can it be, Lord, that You bore the wounds,

the stripes our sins brought unto Thee?

Yes, we recall the lonely cross and tomb,

whereby our hearts are healed!

How wonderful, Lord, You must be, How kind your tender love and grace.

How beautiful the sight we'll see when first we look upon Your face. 

With reverence, Lord, forevermore,

we'll bow our head, to look with love.

We'll give our hearts, Christ to explore,

forever won't be long enough.

Our precious Lord, oh how we thank You so,

we fall unto our face.

Oh look into our grateful hearts and know

our reverence for Thy grace.

"Let us have grace, that we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear."

(Hebrews 12:28)
