At Thy Feet

Sitting at Thy feet to listen

Healing words I clearly hear

Mercy, grace, abundant pardon

Draw me ever near

 

Falling at Thy feet in anguish

Grief compels my bitter cry

Once again to draw me close

When I don’t know the why

 

Kneeling by Thy feet to wash them

Faith can see the brutal wound

By Thy nail prints, bleeding side

My life in Thine becomes perfumed

Mary learned the importance of being at Jesus’ feet. Her focus was that Christ received all the attention. By her listening, prayer, and service, she pointed always to her Saviour. Let us learn to humbly live at His feet.

 

Psalms 86:1,5-6, 10-11, 15 

Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
