BLESSING FOR BLESSING

Don Fortner

 

Blessed is the man, O Lord,

Who was chosen by Your grace:

Your election and Your love

Cause our hearts to sing Your praise.

Cause our hearts to sing Your praise.

God of love, You sent Your Son

To redeem Your chosen ones!

Precious Savior! Precious blood!

For our sin Your blood atones!

For our sin Your blood atones!

 

When the time of love has come

God the Spirit comes to some:

By grace we cannot resist,

God's elect are caused to come.

God's elect are caused to come.

 

Come to Jesus? Yes, we do,

Come to Christ alone for grace;

By God's sov'reign grace and power,

We the Son of God embrace!

We the Son of God embrace!

 

Blessed Father, blessed Son,

Blessed Spirit, three in One,

We for grace our praise return-

Thank You, Lord, for all You've done!

Thank You, Lord, for all You've done!
