This song kept playing in my head.
In the image of God, we were made long ago,
with the purpose divine, here his glory to show;
But we failed Him one day, and like sheep went astray,
thinking not of the cost, we His likeness had lost.
But from eternity, God had in mind,
the work of Calvary, the lost to find;
From His heaven so broad, Christ came down earth to trod,
so that men might live again in the image of God.
Now that I have believed, and the Saviour received,
now that I from the guilt, of my sins am relieved,
I will live for my Lord, counting no gain nor loss,
but for love thinking of, what His likeness has caused
I'll never comprehend, redemption's plan,
how Christ could condescend, to die for me;
Such a Saviour I'll praise, till the end of my days,
as I upward, onward climb, in the image of God
God has been impressing this hymn upon my heart for quite a few days now.
Redenmption's plan is something I could not understand. Why God would send His Son? But this I hope to do, to live my life worthy of His name, in my words, conducts and thoughts.
Lord, it's my prayer that this desire continues to grow nd burn like the candle which never goes out.
