Shai Linne Throne Of Grace
"Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed. O you who hears prayer, to you shall all flesh come. When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions. Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!" (Psalm 65:1-4)
Heavenly Father, it's in the name of Jesus I pray He is the way- for His sake, please receive what I say First things first, blessed be Your holy name There's none like You, You stand alone and you reign Lord, You know my frame, You remember that I'm dust Jesus, who overcame- it's in Him I put my trust No confidence in the flesh, it's obvious I'm a mess No doubt, much more a mess than what I can see manifest I confess that I daily fall short of Your glory I've failed so many times- my sin's always before me I take time to ponder the opportunities I've squandered And how I'm prone to wander from here to yonder My foolish, restless heart clings to dear idols Which could never satisfy me- they're mere trifles Like David said, You hem me in behind and before You convict me of the sin that I've been trying to ignore Lord, you see my immaturity, You see my insecurity You see all my impurity- how long will You endure with me? My heart's laid before You- stark naked, undressed I pray that You would become greater and that I'd become less Yes, when I see Jesus and His inherent loveliness I'm reminded of my own comparative nothingness And actually, I'm as primitive as can be Compared to His magnificent, infinite majesty You've shown me the glory of Christ, He's so holy My only hope is that You look upon the lowly So I humble myself as I appear at Your throne Not based on my righteousness, but Christ's merits alone I'm crying out for mercy as I magnify Your name You amplified the pain of the Lamb of God who was slain So truly, I only have one request that'll suit me Please open up my eyes to better behold His beauty
