Here I Am

Majesty (Here I Am)

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

...woke up this morning with this song in my head (we sang it at Mars Hill yesterday)...powerful and poignant...it's far too easy to get all high-and-mighty, wrapped up in pride thinking I'm so good and holy...but recognizing (and being confronted by) my own sinfulness and seeing horrifying glimpses that I am "crooked deep down" (as Derek Webb sings). But, ah, GRACE! So humbling, breaks me down and shows me I am nothing without Him. And it's only His GRACE that changes me, and gives me such hope to trust that "He who began a good work in me will be faithful to complete it" (Phil 1). Thankful for salvation...and thankful for sanctification, the promise that I am being transformed daily into the Image of Christ.
