For love’s sake, He became poor
Isaiah 12:2-6 NLT
See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation! In that wonderful day you will sing: “Thank the Lord! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is! Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. Let all the people of Jerusalem shout his praise with joy! For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you.”
2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT
You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.
Praise For Salvation
We praise you, O Father, for love and for grace,
We trust you completely and are not afraid.
Salvation is ours, it is full and is free,
For it comes from our Lord and our Savior King.
Confident trust in the God of creation,
We offer to you, O Sovereign of nations.
You, who are able to do all you promise,
Keep us from going through ultimate judgment.
Joy fills our cup from the fount of salvation,
Jesus has come to us through incarnation.
Grace upon grace we receive in great measure,
Knowing our King and Lord is life’s great treasure.
Make known his praise! Let all nations be joyful!
Jesus is born, and for that we are thankful.
Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor
