New Morning Mercies #137

We are guilty. The cross purchased our forgiveness. We are unable. The Spirit gives us power. We are foolish. God’s Word provides wisdom.

What did I bring

to your salvation table?

I had

no righteousness to offer,

no strength to give,

no wisdom to present.

There was

nothing

that I could deliver

that would commend me

to you.

I crawled broken

to your table,

weighed down and crippled by

my sin,

my guilt,

my weakness,

my foolishness,

my pride,

my shame.

I had no right

to be with you,

but you picked me up

and placed me there.

You fed me

the life-giving nutrients

of grace

with your

nail-scarred hands.

And I haven’t left your

table of mercy since.
