How can we not respect Him
Who hung upon the cross;
Who intervened to erase our sins
To face no eternal loss?
How can we not admire Him –
Who knew no sin at all,
Who walked and talked amongst us
Where our name the Father calls?
How can we not believe –
When miracles we see,
Every day in every single way
In how creation has come to be?
And how can we not trust
That deliverance sets us free?
Because when we humble ourselves and cry to Him
He faithfully intercedes.
How can we not adore Him
When He mentioned “It is finished!”
As He hung in agony for our sake
For the work that was accomplished?
How can we not be grateful
That the gate to hell is sealed,
When our soul’s greatest need is forgiveness
When we’re saved and we are healed?
When we’re patient with long-suffering
And know our prayers are heard as well,
It’s in God’s timing and His perfect will
Where answers they shall dwell.
How can we not reflect
On dangers that were intercepted,
When our heart it was protected
And our feet were redirected?
Because He knows every single detail
And the motives of the heart,
So how can we not be grateful
When He protects to set apart?
