God made us to be with Him,
but, on our own, we could not.
Though...
It was not that His hands
could
not for us so reach.
It was not that His ears
could
not from us so hear.
It is our own iniquity,
instead,
that
keeps us so far apart.
Our sin shortens our arms.
Our sin stops our ears.
Our sin makes God for us
so far out of reach.
But by His mercy, He offers
Life.
By His grace, He provides
Truth.
And by His love, He made
a Way.
God's own mighty arm
has lifted the heavy weight,
One no mere man could carry
or ever hope to emulate.
Through the hands of His
sinless One,
God reached across the divide,
Doing what no man could
ever do,
and set us down forever by His side.
Isaiah 59:1-8, 9-15
John 14:6 |
