Show Us Christ by Sovereign Grace
Lyrics
Prepare our hearts, O God
Help us to receive
Break the hard and stony ground
Help our unbelief
Plant Your Word down deep in us
Cause it to bear fruit
Open up our ears to hear
Lead us in Your truth
Show us Christ, show us Christ
O God, reveal Your glory
Through the preaching of Your Word
Until every heart confesses Christ is Lord
Your Word is living light
Upon our darkened eyes
Guards us through temptations
Makes the simple wise
Your Word is food for famished ones
Freedom for the slave
Riches for the needy soul
Come speak to us today
Where else can we go, Lord
Where else can we go
You have the words of eternal life

Reflection
This song captures the cry of my heart every Sunday morning, especially when I’m visiting a new church. “Preacher,” I think to myself, “Show me Jesus! Exalt in His Word and show me His majesty, His glory, His excellencies!” Oh that we thirsted more truly for His Word and His Son — the Living Word!
