Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:11-16
Draw Near A Song for Lenten Fridays
I know you are weary
spent from the trauma
poured out and weak
so tired and terrified
draw near to the throne of grace.
Draw near to the throne of grace
and we will find mercy
help in our time of need
and loving strength for today.
There is no quick solution
we are in this long haul
our brokenness is before us
visible to all the pain
is not what we deserved.
Faithful and yet deeply wounded
a people who seem failing
God does not abandon you
there is yet more life to come.
Draw near to the throne of grace
and we will find mercy
help in our time of need
and loving strength for today.
Sorrowing parents, broken children
amidst families torn asunder
wracked by loss and isolation
love is binding you back together.
Draw near to the throne of grace
and we will find mercy
help in our time of need
and loving strength for today.
He who suffered for us all
walks our roads of loss and pain
carrying the load with us
bringing the healing as well.
Draw near to the throne of grace
and we will find mercy
help in our time of need
and loving strength for today.
God was bent and broken
shamed and defiled upon a cross
bleeding and dying for us all
we are invited to seek God now.
Draw near to the throne of grace
and we will find mercy
help in our time of need
and loving strength for today.
Draw near to the throne of grace
and we will find mercy
help in our time of need
and loving strength for today.
