Throne on High

I marvel at the goodness of our Savior, and the power of His atoning sacrifice. His atonement is progressive and perpetual; It not only reaches back to right the wrongs that I have committed, but it heals me in this very moment and reaches forward to right my future course.

In essence, Christ's atonement makes hope in the future possible, and all possible joy springs from it. I can look forward with hope to that great day when we will kneel before His throne, because He makes it possible for me to look forward. Christ is the light by which I see and the joy which I hope to attain.

We Have a Throne on High

We have a throne on high, next to the angels above.

I dare my soul to fly, to that bought by Christ’s dear love.

To me He freely gave, that I may through grace obtain.

My soul He would save, though I would cause Him pain.

I marvel at His goodness, the way He lived his life.

All was done in kindness, so that we might feel His light.

Nowhere near to falter, while in blood He paid the price.

Now I kneel upon the alter, and take the name of Christ.

The way is clearly laid, to that throne on high.

The price of sin is paid, His day of glory nigh.

I pray for wings to take me, to the Father’s throne.

So I can take a knee, and praise a new found home.
