Sovereign

Harassed&helpless,down&defenseless,hurried&hopeless,You found us weak,beaten&friendless.Your sympathy was aroused.You chose mercy.You worked our salvation with your own hand.You sacrificed your son,your own flesh&blood.You pierced your own body&bore the sin&shame that seperated us from you so that no man can boast.The creator of man&earth&heavenly hosts gave all so that we could live.How can we deny you our utmost?
