THE SACRIFICES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

The worship of God is truly sacred;

The LORD must be well-regarded.

Sacrifices must not become ritualistic;

The worshipper must be realistic.

 

He must know what God desires;

He must fathom what the law requires.

The heart must be righteous before God;

All sins must be confessed to the LORD.

 

God Himself would impute righteousness;

How wonderful to have this blessedness.

The heart must be filled with thanksgiving;

The soul cannot but be filled with singing.

 

Let us check our heart when we offer worship to God;

Have we been forgiven and reconciled to the LORD?

The sacrifices of righteousness would be accepted;

For we have learned how God must be regarded!
