Reminder of where we come from

You stood before creation

You hold the earth in your hands

You saw our unformed bodies before we ever entered this world

You know the path we will take

You will provide

You have sacrificed everything

It is you who judge men

It is you who pour out your grace onto our lives

You bring men freedom from darkness

It is you who shine in the dark places

It is your hope that sustains life

Your right hand that holds nations

Your love overwhelms

It is by your peace that we are able to live

You first served when we were undeserving

You called us saints

You made us righteous

You keep your covenants when we can barely keep our word

You are our firm foundation

You are our rock

YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US

There is a pattern in these statements. None of these things have to do with our doing. It is only by God's insurmountable love that we are able to even exsist.
