Immutable, Eternal, Holy Sovereign

Immutable, eternal, holy Sovereign,
What can we, changeable, temporal, sinful persons do
But submissively worship You?

Repenting of the sins we know,
Repenting of the sins You know, which we are not aware of yet--
Sins for which Your Son died,
We will not hide.

We cannot hide for You are
All present and
All wise and
All just and
All worthy and
So much more that
Forever will not be long enough
To fully know You.

We can only present our sinful selves
As we ask for
Your holy grace,
Grace we have seen in
Your incarnate Son.

We are all debtors; our sins are clear to You.

We come as beggars to the home of the King,
Immutable, eternal, holy.

We come pleading for what we do not deserve.

And whatever You determine, whether justice or grace,
We offer our praise, for that is what You are worthy of.

We can't even imagine can we?
