FEBRUARY 1, 2020

Before You formed me, you knew me
You set me apart and ordained your life for me
Lord, you know me better than I know myself
For you are a “God at hand”, not a God afar 

I cannot hide from Thee, nor reject your plan for me
I need your saving grace for my deceitful heart
And your forgiveness of my transgressions
To be born again with a new heart and a new Spirit

My grief and pain are just part of your plan
The various trials I have suffered were tests of my faith
Your grace, has led me to achieve what I could not do on my own
Through hard circumstances you have altered the values of my heart

I remember the day I became a forgiven child of Thee
The day I laid my burdens at the foot of the cross
The day I met Jesus and accepted His everlasting love
The day my sins were forgiven

What joy, a day to dance and sing praises
May the music of my life bless Thee at all times
May my praise for Thee be continually on my lips
May I honor and be worthy of Thee all the days of my life
