Oh, God we truly are lukewarm,
We work for self-gain, vanity.
Where is our love and zeal for You?
Shall we be spewed out of Your mouth?
We’re rich and increased with goods,
And have no need of anything.
Oh, that we know we’re wretched, poor
Miserable, naked, blind!
Sell unto us gold tried in fire,
And raiment white for covering,
And eye salve to anoint our eyes,
Rebuke and chasten us with love.


We want the Lord our righteousness;
His life, His death, for ours He gives
Come Holy One of Israel,
Our Savior and High Priest who lives.
Oh, that our lips had always sung
Thy praise, for worthy is your Son
With chastened souls and humble hearts,
With faith revived and hope begun,
We wait and trust, believe your Word,
For it is truth and life and pow’r.
Impute us now His righteousness;
Your Son’s pure life for sinful ours.


What wondrous love
that gives that gift –
Our filthy rags for Christ’s
spotless robe.
Our sins and stains no more condemn;
God, our Judge, no longer wroth.
Oh, make us like your selfless Son,
That You and He and we be one –
Oh, make us like your selfless Son,
That you and He and we be one –
That you and He and we be ONE.

God bless you!
