“Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation” (Psa. 51:12¹²Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. (Psalm 51:12)).

“I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me” (Rev. 3:20²⁰Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)).

I stand before Him forgiven!
His blood has made me clean;
But at times in daily living
A cloud comes in between:
And fellowship is broken,
Communion sweet no more —
Oh! How to restore the sweetness
Enjoyed the day before.

In His presence I seek forgiveness,
I own my fault with shame;
Long before by blood it was covered
When I first confessed His name;
But the joy that follows confession!
Freedom again to look up;
To open the door to His knocking
And invite Him in to sup.

“The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23²³For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)).
