In Holy Splendor and Awe--Oct. 1, 2014
In holy splendor we
would worship you, O God,
and in awe we tremble
before you--
not out of fear, but
because of your goodness
and the great things
you have done.
Especially we praise
you for Jesus,
who came to call not
the righteous
but sinners like us
to repentance.
