The hymn for today is a point/counterpoint on the question of how to live a righteous life.
By
the Grace of Christ the King
Walking
under heaven’s crown
Is
a fearful thing,
For
the hand of God is found,
Then,
in every scene!
Refrain: By
the grace of Christ the King
I
have been redeemed!
He
has taken all my sin
And
brought me to my knees!
How
e’er could a person stand,
Knowing
they are seen
Every
day in every way
By
the Living King?
Could
a person e’er be right
In
Creator’s eyes,
For
we live as we devise,
Thinking
we are wise?
So,
then, shall I look to Him,
Seeking
out His way
That
I rest my feet in His
Each
and every day?
Then
I find Him, on the cross,
Hanging
there for me!
He
has taken up my cost
And
has set me free!
