O Holy One

Sacrifice offering
You do not desire
But you've given me an open ear
When I'm cold as ice
And bring to you things burnt with fire
You say keep your spirit clear
That's all that I require

O, holy one I delight to do your will
On your name I now look
And with awe I now start
And I oh, I come
Please write with sacred quill
My name is your book
And your law in my heart

Faithfulness mercy and love you multiply
And there's no-one who compares with you
As for me I was poor and needy
But I know you heard my cry
When you drew me from the pit
So I could sit with you on high

O, holy one I delight to do your will
When you came I forsook all my need to be smart
And I oh, I come give me wisdom and fill
My name is your book
And your law in my heart

You put a new song in my mouth
A song of praise to our God
Many will see and many will fear
And men with ears to hear
Will know they must
Put their trust in the Lord

Well, sons of serpents hypocrites
Pharisees and scribes
I'm afraid I've behaved like all of you
But a serpent raised upon a pole
Healed the twelve tribes
And a son raised upon a cross
Is the healing of our lives?

O, holy one I delight to do your will
Our shame Jesus took
Now we're near not far apart
And I oh, I come knowing no person until
My name's in your book
And your law's in my heart

And I oh, I come
Holding fast and holding still
My name in your book
And your love in my heart.
