I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me...

I was glad when they said unto me, 

Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Psalm 122:1

Is He Worthy?

I was glad when they said unto me

Let us go to the house of the Lord

 Let us worship He who has set sinners free

 With humble devotion outpoured

I was glad when they said unto me

Lockdown restrictions have eased

Fifteen percent of capacity

Will keep the health-board kindly pleased

I was glad when they said unto me

You may go now and sit in the pews

Six feet apart (but with God's family)

Cherishing Mercy's Good News  

I was glad when they said unto me

Assemble together once more

Come, kneel at the cross of Calvary

Think of the anguish He bore

Honour the Maker of heaven and earth

Precious Savior of the soul

Fellowship sweetly, rejoice in the worth

 Of faith that makes believers whole

Ponder, with wonder His love, full and free

Delight at the sound of His Word

Sing, 'I was glad when they said unto me

Let us go to the house of the Lord'

To lift up glad voices in hymns dear and true

To lift the roof with worship's chord

I was so glad, oh weren't you too?

To go to the house of the Lord

(I wish this last verse was true...maybe next week?)

I was glad to see parking lots packed

Standing room only outside

As people gathered, starved for what they lacked

Worshipping Christ crucified

Worshipping Christ, unified
