Fit For Him

We are all broken, who can boast

Save in redemption’s Uttermost

His mercies number more than stars

And fills with worth, earth’s broken jars

Beggar and brawler all are we

Save by His grace: He sets us free

Ah, here the crux of honor brims

Healed into vessels fit for Him

The Way, the Truth, the Life, ah This

In us becomes hope’s genesis

And only through His all in all

Can we be fitted for love’s call

The more we try to merit it

The more by far we are unfit

Oh, praise the name of Jesus, sing,

His grace fits brokenness for Him

Sometimes the Tempter tries to get us to believe we are far too unfit to dare to think that we are worthy of God’s attention! But we had it before we were born! And we are worthy not because of what we do for him but because of what HE did for us!

He, God the Father, gave His Son Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords, to lowly birth in a manger, to lowly death on a cross to triumph, Holy Victor over the curse of sin; death! 

If we believe, we are brimming with fitness for Him! 

Isn’t that something to cheer us on?!

The finish line for this race is Heaven!
