Your love has met Your law's demand

Last sunday we sang the hymn "We Come, O Christ, to You" in church. I was struck deeply by the richness of this text written by Margaret Clarkson. This hymn draws our attention to the glory of Christ in many ways. It speaks of Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the life. It speaks of Christ as Savior, Lord, and King.

This hymn was so helpful in drawing my soul to meditate upon our glorious King Jesus!




"We come, O Christ, to You, True Son of God and man,
By whom all things consist, In whom all life began:
In You alone we live and move, and have our being in Your love.

You are the Way to God, Your blood our ransom paid;
In You we face our Judge and Maker unafraid.
Before the throne absolved we stand,
Your love has met Your law's demands.

You are the living Truth! All wisdom dwells in You,
The Source of every skill, The One eternal True!
O great I Am! In You we rest, Sure answer to our every quest.

You only are true Life, to know You is to live.
The more abundant life that earth can never give: O Risen Lord!
We live in You, in us each day Your life renew!

We worship You, Lord Christ, our Savior and our King,
To You our youth and strength adoringly we bring:
So fill our hearts, that all may view Your life in us,
and turn to You!"
