Psalm 100:3. “Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he who hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”
WE ARE HIS. No longer my own man, I belong to another – He alone knows what is right for me. I rejoice at His goodness and at all I encounter – Evidence of my Lord is there in all that I see. His gates are open with a welcome to all Who knows Him and loves His glorious estate. His mercy is extended in grace; He does call To us from His storehouses of bounty to partake.
To serve Him is a great honor, to know Him is joy That exceeds any honor men can bestow. His yoke is easy, and in His presence, I stay – There, His virtues and glories of Personhood show. I am one of His people, a sheep of His flock – Thankful to be now a recipient of His marvelous grace. With others of like faith, our service and talk – Center on Him who is the Master of this place.
He created us first, then made us anew – To be like Him in character and share His delights. Things that please Him bring pleasure to me, too – Following Him leads me to walk in the light. His gates open wide to foretastes of heaven on earth – And His courts resound as the saints give Him praise. I will never be able to fathom all my Lord is worth – But I will rejoice in Him and with Him through an endless day.
“O God of all grace: for allowing me to know Thee and calling me to be one of Thine own, I thank Thee sincerely and devotedly, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
