Holy God,
Who could walk before
you and be blameless?
What sacrifices could
make us perfect?
None can, but in Christ
we have
the perfect model to
follow.
Like Jesus, we must
confess
that we can do nothing
on our own;
like him, we must seek
to do not our will,
but yours.

Selected Verses
Ps. 143:2
Do not enter into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
for no one living is righteous before you.
Gen. 17:1
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to
Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be
blameless. …"
Heb. 10:1
Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come
and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices
that are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who approach.
John 5:30-47
"…I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just,
because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me. …" [Jesus to those who were trying to
kill him]
