In the image of God

- In the image of God,
- We were made long ago,
- With the purpose divine,
- Here His glory to show;
- But we failed Him one day,
- And like sheep went astray,
- Thinking not of the cost,
- We His likeness had lost.
- But from eternity God had in mind,
- The work of Calvary, the lost to find,
- From His heaven so broad,
- Christ came down earth to trod,
- So that men might live again,
- In the image of God.
- Now that I have believed,
- And the Saviour received,
- Now that I from the cry,
- Of my guilt am relieved,
- I will live for the Lord,
- Not for gain nor reward,
- But for love, thinking of what,
- His grace has restored!
- I'll never comprehend redemption's plan,
- How Christ could condescend to die for man,
- Such a Saviour I'll praise,
- To the end of my days,
- As a upward, onward trod,
- In the image of God
