We bow and worship, Father, here

We bow and worship

Father

here

And marvel at Thy wondrous love.

O what is man that Thou shouldst deign

To him such boundless grace to prove!

We praise Thee for Thy heart’s intent

That man Thy likeness should possess

That with Thy life and nature filled

Thine image he should manifest.

Man in Thine image Thou didst make

To him authority didst give;

Thyself presenting as his life

That by Thy riches he might live.

To enter man Thou dost desire

With him to mingle thru Thy grace

That man may be transformed and built

To be Thy worthy dwelling place.

Tho’ man did fall

Thou didst not leave

Thy heart’s intent

but Thou didst move;

Redeeming man to bring him back

Thou didst Thy love and wisdom prove.

In Christ Thou didst Thyself reveal

Who died and rose

redemption wrought;

In Spirit Thou hast entered man

And to him life and grace hast brought.

My spirit is Thy holiest place

Thy throne of grace is founded there;

Thou wouldst that we in spirit come

To burn the incense thru our prayer.

Such grace is like a river full

Which from the throne of grace doth come;

It floweth thru

transforming us

And builds us up to be Thy home.

Receiving of Thy matchless grace

We marvel at Thy gift so free;

With grateful hearts for Thy great love

In spirit now we worship Thee.
