To My Advocate

Listen Later

How glorious Your garments, Great High Priest,

Clothed in glory and beauty,
Your people upon Your heart,
Holiness on Your forehead,
Judgment on Your shoulders,
Scars on Your back,
Nail prints in Your hands,
Spear stab in Your side.
You are the merciful and faithful High Priest
In the service of God
To make propitiation for sins not Yours,
Crowned with glory and honor,
Grace pouring from Your lips.
You are the great and good High Priest,
Living, saving, interceding forever
For those who draw near to God
Through You.
I come in grateful adoration
For such an immaculate Mediator,
Holy, innocent, unstained, set apart,
Exalted, generous in self-oblation,
Both priest and spotless sacrifice,
Guaranteeing a better covenant.
How, O Lord, can we shabby sinners
Be the joy set before You,
The joy surpassing pain of cross
And bloody sweat?
Forgive my sins, for they are many.
Thank You for Your grace in
Saving the lost and derelict, loving
The unlovable, making waifs and urchins
Your blood-bought family,
Growing in reflected glory as we gaze at
Yours, growing in holiness as
Your Spirit works out the grace that
You have worked in.
Glorious and gracious High Priest,
Died, risen, ascended, and sure
To come again,
I worship You.

P.S. We recently spotted a scissor-tailed flycatcher (photo below) who graciously accepted our request for photos. Have you seen any new-to-you birds lately?

To Live Well, the latest book by O. Alan Noble, would make an excellent book for graduates and intergenerational mentoring. My brief review is here:
