Featured SongUpdate on our God's Attributes Project

If you follow our blog, you know that last week Eric and I carved out some time to work on our Hymns on God's Attributes project. We had a very enjoyable time together catching up with our lives and ministries. Both of us were tempted to postpone the trip because of the number of responsibilities on our plates right now, but we decided to persevere and trust the Lord, asking Him to help us manage our anxieties by casting them on Him. We're glad we decided to stick with it, for we not only enjoyed spending many hours plumbing the depths of God's character and how it was revealed at Calvary and works its ways into our lives, but we also had a productive time. We finished (that's a relative term) 12 stanzas, or 4 hymns. I thought you might be encouraged to read one of the texts. Remember, this is to the tune of "A Mighty Fortress"
The Lord is Holy
The Lord is holy, free from sin, unmatched in all his glory.
Before His throne angelic ones cry "Holy, Holy, Holy."
His holiness does fill His being, works, and will.
No eye can fully see His holy majesty.
O who can stand before Him?
The Lord has made a way for man to come into His presence:
The Father sent His only Son to bear His holy vengeance.
Through faith the Lord applies this perfect sacrifice.
The Spirit now ensures His people are made pure
That they might bring Him glory.
The Lord will show me, face to face, the fullness of His glory.
Before His throne I'll join and sing "Lord, You alone are holy."
Since this great hope is sure I strive to be made pure,
Empowered by His grace I will complete the race
And one day stand before Him.
