What More Then, Do We Need?

Tis quite a thing to contemplate

The measure of love's price

It's law no one can mediate

To keep, or sacrifice

 Where what we sacrifice for Who

Tells who our allegiance is to

What joy when what is sacrificed 

 Turns loss to gain, when done for Christ 

***

He forgives our sins and remembers them no more!

What more do we need?

Isaiah 43:25
I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake

 and remembers your sins no more.

You discern thought’s intents

You look into the heart

Still, morning spills the evidence

Of mercies You impart

You lavish us with love

You keep us in Your care

Your Word, a wondrous treasure trove

Of wealth beyond compare

You hear us when we pray

Your light dispels dark doubt

Your grace sufficient, come what may

Your ways past finding out

You discern thought’s intents

You look into the heart

Still, morning spills the evidence

Of mercies You impart

Your well never runs dry

Where Living Waters roll

Your Bread of Life will satisfy

The hunger of the soul

Your Son died in our stead

One sacrifice for all

To free us from the curse that led

To hell after The Fall

Where blood of bull and ram

Could never pay sin’s price

Jesus, the only spotless Lamb

Fit for the sacrifice

What a gift we receive

You gave the best you had

So, all who repent and believe

May call you Abba-Dad

What more then, do we need

Where greed for gain runs wild

Your goodness is enough to feed

All who become Your child

You lavish us with love

You keep us in Your care

Our hope in You, more than enough

For every cross we bear

Where, when death runs us through

Death is not the last word

But simply the Grand Entrance to

Forever with You, Lord

What more then, can we say

You make our joy complete

As we press on toward That Day

When earth and Heaven meet 

Then, how awed we will be

All that we sacrificed

A pittance, as eternity

Consummates, All for Christ

John 1:12
But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name,

 He gave the right to become children of God--
