THE VERSE
What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog, such as I?~2 Samuel 9:8
THE THOUGHT
Such as I, filthy uncleanOne who cov’nants with the grave
Such as I, can You call me,
Even I, condemned depraved
As one who cov’nants with the grave?
A worm and nothing more am I
And less, for I a sinner be
A rebel transgressed a thousand times
And all the curses fall on me
For I a cursed sinner be
How then can one so holy, pure
And set apart from mortal’s death
Bear my curse and own my blame
Taking punishment from wrath
Who stands apart from mortal death?
Such as You, O Son of God
And gracious, incarnate Son of Man
Could e’er unite such great divide
And rescue me from Satan’s hand
O gracious, incarnate Son of Man
Such as I, once stained with shame
Now spotless, blameless, faultless stand
Robed in white and washed in red
Before the holy Great I AM
I spotless, blameless, faultless stand
THE PRAYER
Jesus, You have rescued me from Satan's hand, rescued me from my sin and myself, and rescued me from the wrath that I so richly deserved. Thank you for Your great kindness to one such as I. Give me songs of praise that rise to the glory of all You have done for me, and fill my life with the light of Your face, that I may be a blessing to others.EXTENDED READING
