CHRISTIAN LIFE >> MEDITATION AND PRAYER
SDAH 496
Eternal Love, we have no good to bring Thee,
No single good of all our hands have wrought,
No worthy music have we found to sing Thee,
No jewelled word, no quick up soaring thought.

Eternal Love, we have no good to bring Thee,
No single good of all our hands have wrought,
No worthy music have we found to sing Thee,
No jewelled word, no quick up soaring thought.

And yet we come; and when our faith would falter
Show us, O Love, the quiet place of prayer,
The golden censer and the golden altar,
And the great angel waiting for us there.

When we think of our own righteousness, they are as filthy rags. We fade just like the autumn leaves. Thus, only through God we become righteous. In Isaiah 45: 24 it says, “In the Lord have I righteousness and strength. (Lesson 1, 1st Quarter 2021 -Sunday, The Effects of Sin, 3/14/2021)
