A Psalm of Rest in Christ Alone

Father

You sacrificed Your only begotten Son

That we may be called sons and daughters of the Most High God

You felt the pain and You turned Your face

Away from the ugliness of sin

Yet You tore the veil to let the sinners in

Jesus

You emptied Yourself of everything but Love

To make room for every sin and sorrow of a rebel race

You left Your resplendent throne in heaven

And chose enthronement on the Old Rugged Cross

So that the unworthy may become co-heirs with You

Holy Spirit

You were there at the very beginning

Breathing life into the Father’s creation

You were there when Adam fell

Dragging mankind into the abyss of sin

You were there dear Spirit at Calvary

On the day Death died so You could breathe out life anew

Father Son and Holy Spirit

Imperfect man made perfect for Heaven

Worthless beings made worthy to reign

Doomed to die yet redeemed to live

The ways of God who can fathom?

Resting in Him as His precious treasure

I choose to say, Thank You God, I believe!
