Worthy We Stand

During worship this Sunday morning, we sang this song written by Michael W. Smith.

Worthy, we stand
Saved by his hand
Great is your name
In all the earth
Worthy alone
Christ on the throne
Your kingdom will reign forever
You are the lord, most high

Your kingdom will reign
Forever and ever


After spending so much time writing about our desperate and depraved condition in sin, it was incredibly humbling to go and sing about standing worthy in the presence of God.

Last week a friend asked me what grades I would receive if God gave me a report card. She told me straight A's because I had been given credit for someone else's work. Jesus took our failings and gave us his perfection. His people, united with him, stand worthy before the Father. It truly is amazing grace.

One more quick note. I'm adding another link to another musician in the link section. His name is Andrew Peterson. I was able to hear him live and was blown away. My favorite lyric of the night was, "The blood of Jesus is like the widow's oil - When it's all you have, it's all you'll ever need" His ability to weave the gospel and the scriptures into his music amazed me.
