These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Gift He Made Me

Made a gift, He made me
to gift my life to God.
Like the Lord to fully see,
His wonders I applaud.

Flowing heart in heart with Him,
made to be as He.
Privileged as His own friends,
now He calls us, "we."

Greater things than He had done,
I do His wonders, now.
Formed in God by His Own Son,
in worship I do bow.

Made a temple of the Lord.
Made to glorify.
Wondrous Promise of His Word,
Now and Bye & Bye.

Walking in the Freedom giv'n,
I'm made new in Christ.
Blessed days so fully livin'
for He paid the Price.

Make an impact on this world
because He lives inside.
"Damned by sin," that curse is hurled.
"It's for those tears I died."

Because I breathe I'm fully loved.
He made me for His own.
He keeps me now as blest, reproved,
restored, His flesh and bone.

"He walks with me and talks with me.
He tells me I'm His" best.
He loves the me, that He can see,
endured He did my test.

To know the Father, look at Christ.
I'm tuned by His true fork.
He saved me through blest, paid Price.
No loved one will He shirk.

Accepted fully in His Heart,
I've nothing more to do.
Death to self from ev'ry start,
receive this life all new.

"He works together for my good,
all things that come my way."
I feast on Christ, my living food,
my face, His Glorious display.

He measured up. In Him, I live,
communing in His Grace.
To this life all me I give.
My heart, Your Kingly place.

Established in His Covenant,
partakers with His Son,
redeemed in Christ through certain rest,
we're new, and we are one.

Partakers of His Sacrifice,
accepted in His love,
all chosen to be worth the Price,
made fit to live Above.

Accepted amnesty from Sin,
"I cannot change my past.
Accept, that it's all done and been.
My love will ever last."

The Mercy of the Loving One
is all I now receive.
My blessed Lord, God's Only Son,
I lovingly believe.
