Corruption-Redemption
I am tired of being such a selfish wretch. I have nothing which to offer our Lord. And yet He has given me everything. What have I done with it, but spurn His blessings? He has been so incredibly patient with me, molding me, making me, and how do I respond? With more sin! I detest the way in which I shake my fist in the face of the Almighty. What a fool! So here I am, yet again, in a place of recognizing the great residue left behind by the old man who is on my back. Who will rescue me from this body of death!!??
Who? The Lord God, mighty to save! He alone is my Rock, and my Redeemer! In Him will I praise! In Him will I glory and boast! The Most High has visited this worm of a man and has taken his cold heart of stone and made it a heart of flesh, that I might see my dreadful condition and cry out to Him alone Who shows mercy to sinners!
O, God! How I have tested you time and again! But in Your mercy You always carry me. You leave me feeling desserted that I might recognize my need and utter dependance of You. Save me from myself, Father. You are exalted, Lord, above all things.
No merit I earned, No value I had
Nothing which I could bring
Just plain, filthy rags, A cold empty heart
And a man at the end of himself
It was by grace that You set Your seal on me
It was by love that You set me free
And this was all by Your Own sovereign decree…
That You…You…You redeemed.
