Sweet, sweet repose

1
Are You the One who came from heav’n?
The mighty God who suffered the curse of sin and died,
And they pierced Your side.
Rose from the grave, You’re ever new;
You’ve sown in me the seed of life that grew
From sinner, poor and blind
To New Jerusalem.
  I love You more
With all my heart, with all my soul,
(Oh, Love divine)
With all my strength, with all my mind;
Sweet, sweet repose.
2
Are You the One my heart has known?
Are You the One, my spirit has richly grown to love?
Oh come, Beloved
And with my lips, shall I confess
That deep in You my heart found rest
And peace as ocean’s depth?
Oh, fill me with Your breath!

My favourite part is stanza one. this Mighty God of ours incarnated to be our Saviour, He died on our behalf, and through the piercing of His side, out came blood and water. blood for judicial redemption, water for organic salvation. in resurrection He became a life-giving Spirit, sowing Himself as a kingdom seed of life into us, so that we can develop, grow, mature and be transformed, from a sinner, poor and blind, to the New Jerusalem, a magnificent divine and human incorporation which God has longed for since eternity past.
