July Hymn of the Month: My Worth Is Not In What I Own
Lyricist, Graham Kendrick, joined Keith and Kristyn Getty to compose the hymn “My Worth Is Not in What I Own.” A quote from John Stott gave inspiration for the theme of this hymn:
“Standing before the cross we simultaneously see our worth and unworthiness, since we perceive both the greatness of his [Jesus’] love in dying, and the greatness of our sin in causing him to die.” [The Cross p. 285]
As Christians, we must not let our culture dictate our human worth by measures of wealth, beauty or power; we need to view our worth from God’s perspective, which centers on the cross.
