 1 

We bow and worship, Father, here

And marvel at Thy wondrous love.

O what is man that Thou shouldst deign

To him such boundless grace to prove!

 

 2 

We praise Thee for Thy heart's intent

That man Thy likeness should possess,

That with Thy life and nature filled

Thine image he should manifest.

 

 3 

Man in Thine image Thou didst make,

To him authority didst give;

Thyself presenting as his life,

That by Thy riches he might live.

 

 4 

To enter man Thou dost desire,

With him to mingle thru Thy grace,

That man may be transformed and built

To be Thy worthy dwelling place.

 

 5 

Tho' man did fall, Thou didst not leave

Thy heart's intent, but Thou didst move;

Redeeming man to bring him back,

Thou didst Thy love and wisdom prove.

 

 6 

In Christ Thou didst Thyself reveal,

Who died and rose, redemption wrought;

In Spirit Thou hast entered man

And to him life and grace hast brought.

 

 7 

My spirit is Thy holiest place,

Thy throne of grace is founded there;

Thou wouldst that we in spirit come

To burn the incense thru our prayer.

 

 8 

Such grace is like a river full

Which from the throne of grace doth come;

It floweth thru, transforming us,

And builds us up to be Thy home.

 

 9 

Receiving of Thy matchless grace,

We marvel at Thy gift so free;

With grateful hearts for Thy great love,

In spirit now we worship Thee.
