Written in the Book

Before the world was formed in space, You knew my name,and by Your grace, You promised in Your holy word, A hope too certain to be blurred. “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”(Psalm 139:16)

I cannot earn this sacred line, By works of mine,however fine. It is a gift,by mercy's hand, A promise on which I may stand. “He who overcomes will be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life.”(Revelation 3:5)

I trust in Christ, the Spotless Lamb, The great I AM,the great I AM. His righteous life,His blood, His pain, Have washed my name from every stain. “Everyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.”(Revelation 20:15)

So, by His cross, my plea is made, Beneath the price His love has paid. Ensure my name,Lord, let it be Secure for all eternity. “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”(Luke 10:20)

Not by my worth, but by Your claim, I rest secure in Jesus'name. This is my hope,my constant plea— You have written,and you keep, me.

Amen.
