How, Lord, shall we come into Your presence
How, Lord, shall we come into Your presence?
Our very prayers are enough to condemn us.
Our purest services , if weighed in the balances, would rise up in judgment against us.
We come anew in the name of Your dear Son, confessing, and desiring deeply to feel as we confess—that we are sinners and the chief of sinners.
We look to Your grace abounding over all our sin—to Your infinite merit abounding over our infinite demerit—to the everlasting righteousness and faithfulness of a tried Redeemer, coming in the room of our imperfections.
We would place all our sins on the head of the immaculate Substitute.
He alone can bear them away into a land of oblivion, so that they can rise up to condemn us no more. We bless You that He ever lives and reigns for our justification.
We rejoice to think of Him as our Great High Priest, with the names of His covenant people engraved on His heart, bearing them along with Him in His every approach to the throne.
All power in Heaven and in earth is entrusted to His hands!
