"How Much I Owe"

 When this passing life is done,

When has set yon' glaring sun.
When I stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o'er life's finished story.
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
But not 'til then, how much I owe!

When I hear the wicked call,
On the rocks and hills to fall.
When I see them start and shrink
On that fiery deluge brink.
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
But not 'til then, how much I owe!

When I stand before Thy throne,
Dressed in beauty not my own.
When I see Thee as Thou art,
Love Thee with unsinning heart.
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
But not 'til then, how much I owe!

[Lyrics by Robert Murray M'Cheyne, 1813-1843]

Galatians 2:20 ... I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

1 John 3:1 ... Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

John 13:1 ... Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
