The Sanctuary
The fullness of the Father's love we've yet to comprehend
That mystery of Godliness that chose to condescend
To be one with humanity and live as One with us
Is where we need to focus most to give to God our trust
For if we choose to know Him as the God He truly is
The God Who sacrificed His all in love to give us this
Great time of our probation while His Kingdom we might choose
We'd surely do our very best to see that we'd not lose
One single opportunity to share His love in kind
To share the Light of living Truth to save the dead and blind
Those dead still in their trespasses who've not been told the truth
And those still blinded by the things they've learned from early youth
That block the glorious Gospel as it is in Christ today
The Gospel laid out like a cross to take our sins away
From Sacrifice to cleansing to provision for our needs
To light from God's pure Spirit to the grace that intercedes
Before that throne eternal where the Father sits in love
Observing and directing all creation from above
Where soon the saints will gather who have learned to follow well
The One Who is our Shepherd Who does more than we can tell
As now while we're still waiting for our time on earth to end
He stands before the Judgment bar as Lawyer Judge and Friend
Defending us in honor who are trusting in His plan
To offer up His precious blood the God Who's also man
And will through all eternity still bear the flesh we'll bear
And in that flesh still bear the scars that prove the Father's care
For every child that's fallen from perfection to disgrace
To make them one in Jesus Who now stands before His face
And works for our redemption Father Son and Holy Ghost
Still giving every moment what we need to help the most
In making us His channels of His love to all the world
Like banners of His Kingdom to be opened and unfurled
For all to see and recognize as children of the King
Who soon will come to earth again as anthems we will sing
Of how His grace delivered us who gave to Him our all
Who gave and gives His all today in answer to our call
Psalm 91; 77:13
