Lord Help Me To Embrace Poem by Gary James Smith

Lord Help Me

Lord help me to embrace Thy Word
And hold it close to me
To hide it in my heart dear Lord
Where I can use it constantly
Stored up in my memory bank
On the which I can meditate
When sin comes around to taunt me
Its passions I won't facilitate

Lord help me to embrace Thy grace
For it's grace in the which stand
Praise God I'm saved by grace through faith
Being prepared for Immanuel's land
Being led by the Holy Spirit
My Comforter...amen!
That sealed me with His eternal presence
And guarantees my end!

Lord help me to embrace Thy love
That led me to find Thee
And pointed out my wretchedness
To live apart from Thee
That brought conviction through Thy Word
That of sin I must repent
Then lavished mercy on my heart
When it to You Lord was bent

Lord help me to embrace the Cross
That was raised to draw me nigh
To recognize the price You paid
That day You were crucified
And every sin debt that i owed
You paid for them...everyone!
I became Your purchased...prized...possession
Hallelujah for the Son!

Lord help me to embrace the grave
It's not our final doom
We have an eternal inheritance
Praise God for the empty tomb
For You said Lord...You would arise
And rise indeed You did
What a wonderful Salvation have us saints
To which the gospel is not hid!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
