Dear Friends,

Do you, like me, love good poetry which touches the heart as prose cannot? Yesterday in church we sang a song that so affected me and today’s devotional shares it with you. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,

John Janney

Jeremiah 10:6-7

“I STAND IN AWE

“You are beautiful beyond description,
Too marvelous for words,
Too wonderful for comprehension,
Like nothing ever seen or heard.
Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depth of Your love?
You are beautiful beyond description,
Majesty enthroned above.

You are beautiful beyond description,
Yet God crushed You for my sin;
In agony and deep affliction,
Cut off that I might enter in.
Who can grasp such tender compassion?
Who can fathom this mercy so free?
You are beautiful beyond description,
Lamb of God who died for me.

And I stand, I stand in awe of You.
I stand, I stand in awe of You.
Holy God, to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe of You.”
