My Hate is Now Delight- A poem on Psalm 69


If God became a man

Surely we would plan

To love Him all the more

For all the sins He bore


Yet it was not in love

We gave His face a shove

How we loved to hate

And did not hesitate

Despising every trace

We spit upon his grace

And gave a bloody blow

To love that reached so low


Still He drank the bitter cup

When He was lifted up

On a cross was crushed

A last breath hushed

Judgment now is done

It has fallen on the Son


But to all who would refuse

They will forever lose

Blotted out of life

Into eternal strife


I was one who hated

My end had all been slated

Yet sins were washed away

Why I could not say

But Oh I am so glad

God is no longer mad

His wrath is satisfied

For Christ has justified

For the glory of his Name

There is longer blame

I stand forever right

My hate is now delight
