today –
glory in the beauty of your savior Jesus!
he alone is our savior – who gave it all – so you and i could have it all in God.
as you read –
worship,
confess,
listen,
cry out,
let the vision of who he is grow brighter, more glorious!
come Lord!
who has believed what he has heard from us?
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
for he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
he was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
[isaiah 53]
