You Are Worthy

Don’t see yourself as insignificant,
Not worthy to come before God
Fearing the stains are too deep to clean
From the sins you’re guilty of
And don’t feel as though you’re not worthy
To dine at His table of grace
Nor even to gather the scraps that fall
Nor look into His loving face

But see yourself clothed in garments
Fit only to clothe a king
Eating as His honoured guest
And wearing His signet ring
For that is how God sees you
A worthy child indeed
A royal priesthood, bearing His name
The moment you came to believe

For surely as Christ’s blood has washed you,
You shall be whiter than snow,
So don’t see yourself as someone unworthy,
A tiny speck nobody knows
For that only belittles the value
Of Jesus Christ’s spilled blood
For it’s through His blood he’s cleansed you
And showed you how much He loved

He says, ‘My child you are precious
More than you can comprehend
For nothing you’ve done could lessen my love
For I’d always call you my friend,
My heart just longs for you to come
And bask in my embrace,
My child I will always love you
And pour out my mercy and grace

So don’t feel afraid to draw near
Nor feel you have no worth,
My son’s blood has purchased you
And has given you new birth
So come, enjoy my presence
And let me hear you sing
The new song I have given you
For to me, you are everything’.
