The Daysman

 From eternity to eternity

Always crowned with Deity

Wonderful, Creator

Master, Sustainer

 

Then the Word became flesh--

God with us, God for us

Born in Bethlehem’s stable

A manger for his cradle

 

The King of Glory, The Son of Man

Now hung between the earth and sky

A Rugged Cross spans the gulf between

Appeasing Justice, making sinner clean

 

Jesus—wonderful and holy

Lived a life so meek and lowly

God in flesh—the sinner’s friend

Will you not on Him depend?

Job 9:33  Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 

Eph 2:4-9

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

Eph 2:14-17  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
