O Sacred King by Matt Redman

One brother chose this song in the night worship we had two days back. I am glad he chose this song although most of us don't know this song. The lyrics of the song goes like this:

O Sacred King
O Holy King
How can I honour you rightly
Honour that's fit for your name

O Sacred King
O Holy King
I don't take what you did lightly
Friendship instead of disgrace

For it's the mystery of the universe
You're the God of holiness
Yet you welcome souls like me
And with the blessings of your Father's heart
You discipline the ones you love
There's kindness in your majesty
Jesus, those who recognise your power
Know just how wonderful you are
That You draw near


I am much moved by the words of this songs. How can we truly do what You actually did for us? If I am asked to forgive a person who has wronged me or hurt me, I think it would take me some time to forgive that person. What more to forgive and forget? But the God whom I worship not only forgive and forget, but He drew near to me. This is the ultimate demonstration of love and grace. If only the people of this earth can do this to each other, this world definitely will be a better place. I am humbled. If a God universe showed love to dust, all the more, we, human made of dusts need to follow his example in doing so to people around us. Currently, I am dealing with an old wound that has re-emerged, I pray that God will help me get over this and to be reconciled to that guy. Amen
