Access to God

Continuing the idea of one of my old hymns on Sundays

I stand amazed in the presence
of God: Father, Spirit, Son.
The Spirit brought me through Jesus
right up to the Father’s throne.
       How marvellous, how wonderful:
       access to a glorious place!
       How marvellous, how wonderful:
       God triune’s redeeming grace!

When glancing back at the quicksand
and bondage I knew before,
I realise how much the Father
had planned, and the Saviour bore.

And this the place of pure blessing,
and fellowship rich and love.
Oh, help me stay here communing,
– a foretaste of heaven above!

cf. Ephesians 2:18
