She came with tears to wash her Saviour's feet
And if her sins were cause for her to weep
So was the coldness shown by the Pharisee;
She came with hair to wipe her Saviour's feet
To show how much His footsteps were esteemed
Though Simon treated the Master as the least;
She came with lips to kiss the Saviour's feet
Because Christ made her happiness complete;
She came with myrrh, to balm the Saviour's feet,
Since instinct told His was a path of grief;
She came to kneel beside the Saviour's feet:
She went forgiven, trusted to go in peace.

CLOTHING
To be before the face of God
Without the taint of sin
We must be clothed in Christ Himself -
Clothed in the coats of skin.
We cannot come with righteousness
Of which our nature brags
We must be clothed in Christ Himself
And not our filthy rags.
When God desires to celebrate
His dear Son’s wedding feast
We must be clothed in Christ Himself
From greatest unto least.
To be within the Father’s house
Where He in joy may rest
We must be clothed in Christ Himself -
Clothed in the Father’s best.

THE BIBLE
Through twenty centuries
It, and its theme, Christ,
Have retained their relevance,
Their freshness,
And their resonance.

ONE ROCK
There is one rock that does not change,
Perfect and constant in its form.
While others splinter and derange
There is one Rock
That cannot alter in the storm.
While thrusting power makes them strange
This does not vary from its norm.
Rocks, overheated, rearrange,
Boil, overflow, cool and reform:
Beyond earth's fiercest fury's range
There is One Rock.
Perfect and constant in its form.
While others splinter and derange
There is one Rock
That cannot alter in the storm.
While thrusting power makes them strange
This does not vary from its norm.
Rocks, overheated, rearrange,
Boil, overflow, cool and reform:
Beyond earth's fiercest fury's range
There is One Rock.

DONE
Seeking to reign where he should serve,
Judging God's Son, through fraud,
Gorging himself in sins, we see
What man has done to God.
They torture good, set evil free,
Flatter, seduce, or ban:
In their depravity we see
What man has done to man.
Blessing since earth was first begun,
Securing His own plan,
And giving His beloved Son -
What God has done for man!
Securing sons who gladly bow
To give eternal laud
We worship, seeing, even now,
What God has done for God!
