IF WE REVERE HIM
There are always new things to learn & find out
about the Lord...in our walk as we grow.
But may we never lose sight of our reverence for God
for it's the basis for all that we know.
It's deepest respect we have for the Lord
that causes knees to bow down in prayer,
To seek out His will for the places we are
and ask Him to come meet us there.
It's humility before Him that makes us adore Him
as the One True God who can save.
And it's with eyes full of mercy that we see ourselves as servants
and gladly make ourselves His slaves.
It's fresh awe that fills us with our hands on the Word
and causes hot tears to fall on its pages.
For He takes our breath away with the awesome reality
that He is King for all of the ages.
And it's respect that makes us see there is a "right way"
to handle what is holy and true.
So may we always pursue Him for His absolute excellence
and seek Him for all that we do.
Let us always revere His great name as holy
and give honor as we speak that name.
For we know Him as Savior...but we cannot deny Him
as a brilliant and all-consuming flame.
For if we revere Him, we can't help but hear Him
and our response is the move and obey.
For honor and reverence breeds a growing relationship
with the King of all kings every day.
