Thought for the Lord's Day - #48

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eye-strings break in death
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
- Augustus M. Toplady

OPC Justification Report -- Updated

The Report of the Committee to Study the Doctrine of Justification presented to the 73rd Gneral Assembly of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in on the OPC's website.

UPDATE: I posted this Saturday without comment, because, well, look at the other post. Anyway, I regretted that. Pastor Polymathis linked to the report with a comment, one I heartily second, so I figure you can head over to his blog and get the necessary wisdom.

Am planning on printing out a handful of reports to bring to church this week, save some eyes from reading on the screen...
