You Made Me Delightful

You asked me to delight in you.
You called me your own.
You sealed me with your Spirit.
You raised me to life with you.

I once was lost.
I was in a deep miry pit.
My eyes were blind.
The darkness was thick.

But when you chose
to reveal your Son in me.
You set my feet upon a rock.
You anointed my eyes
with eye salve.
You opened the eyes of my heart.

You came to save sinners.
And I was very lost without you.
You took away my sins
in your body.
You nailed the rules that oppressed me
to the cross.
Your blood washed me white as snow.

Oh precious Jesus,
in you I am delightful.
You said that if I delight myself in you,
you'll give me the desires of my heart.

Oh heart.
I know what you desire.
The Living God.
My heart and my flesh cries out
for this Living God.
You placed in me,
a deep cry and a deep need
for you.

I am delightful.
I am forever changing.
The beauty of your love
for your Father
in your obedience to His will
has set many captives free.

And I am thankful!
