In the Image of God

想起一首hymn，
中學時期，在早會、音樂堂上唱。

回家路上，心裏不聽的唱着，
成為安慰：

In the Image of God,
We were made long ago.
With the purpose divine,
here his glory to show.

But we failed him one day,
And like sheep went astray.
Thinking not of the cost,
we his likeness has lost.

But from eternity,
God had in mind,
the work of Calvary,
the lost to find.

From his heaven so broad,
Christ came down earth to trod,
so that man might live again,
in the image of God.



Now that I had believed,
And the Saviour received,
Now that I am from Christ,
Of my guilt am relieved.

I will live for my lord,
not for gain nor reward,
but for love thinking of what his grace has restored

I'll never comprehend redemption's plan,
How Christ could condescend,
to die for man.
Such a saviour I'll praise,
to the end of my days,
as I upward onward trod in the image of GOD.



感謝主。
