Atonement

His life He gave, the price He paid,

At His feet our sins were laid.

Made to be at one with God,

For us, the path of pain, He trod.

Now in union, enthroned with Him,

Having born the darkness of our sin.

At one with God, communion sweet,

We worship at our Saviours feet.

In harmony with God, as sons and heirs,

His glory now with us He shares.

Hidden in the depths of Deity, we are as one,

Showering love upon us, like brilliant rays of sun.

Encapsulated in His awesome light,

We find such pleasure and delight.

At one with God, delighting Fathers heart,

United in His holiness, never far apart.

Born to be joint heirs, with Gods own Son,

United with the triune Godhead, three in one.

For He the price has paid, to bring us to this place,

That we might share His glory, look upon His face.

Atonement, at one with God, hidden in His love,

This is God great gift to man, sent from heaven above.
