of whom i am the foremost.

oh Jesus, thank You for what You did. You knew throughout Time that Your sacrifice was what it was going to take to reconcile us to You. how i take it for granted, sweet Jesus. how i spit in Your face minute by minute.

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

of what possible worth can i be to You, Father God? and how can it be that i can call You that and not instantly incinerate. You blow my mind. day after day of my pitiful life i run and hide from You, but You come and pick me up and remind me of Your great love. i see it in the stars at night and in the glory of the sunrise. i see Your love and Your provision and care everywhere i look.

what can i reply?
my hand i lay
upon my lips
shall i attempt to speak?

You are so good to me, God. You see the depths of my heart, and You love me the same. thank You for every blessing You've seen fit to give me, and for the ones to come. thank You for coming to save sinners.
