Blessed Relationship With the Lord
How blessed are we to enjoy our relationship* with the Lord
Since we’ve been bound to Him with His salvation-cord
We can come to Him, yielding ourselves to the grace He does afford
Thru the invitation He declares in His Word.
How blessed are we to commune with the Lord without hesitation
Since we’ve become His children by virtue of His adoption
We can talk to Him, expressing ourselves in earnest supplication
Thru the answer He assures by His compassion.
How blessed are we to stay always in the Lord’s presence
Since we’ve been forgiven by His purifying license
We can worship Him, immersing ourselves in His holy magnificence
Thru the cleansing He grants for our souls' effervescence.
How blessed are we to seek the Lord freely for our faith’s refining perfectly
Since we’ve become His heirs by His blood-priced sacrifice truly
We can meet Him, humbling ourselves at His throne sincerely
Thru the fellowship He initiates blissfully.
How blessed are we to cling to the Lord with divine intimacy
Since we’ve been redeemed by His tender mercy
We can cleave to Him, submitting ourselves to His might's fervency
Thru the help He offers midst turmoil of urgency.
How blessed are we to be acquainted with the Lord’s ways
Since we’ve become His new creation to give Him praise
We can live for Him, delighting ourselves in His work all our days
Thru the love He covers us, wrapped by His care’s embrace.
How blessed are we to abide in the Lord to experience His glory
Since we’ve been rescued from hell’s damnation and sin’s misery
We can serve Him, committing ourselves to share Gospel story
Thru the blessings He provides along His promised victory.
*Psalm115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
