The King of Glory

This is a passage i actually read by accident when i was going to read proverbs but i wasn't awake yet since it was in psalms an i didn't know it... lol. But this passage just reminded me of who God is and what the requirement is to be with him and it challenged me to strive for that harder:
Psalms 24
24:1 the earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
24:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
24:6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face O jacob. selah.
24:7 lift up your heads, o ye gates,; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in.
24:8 Who is this King of glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
24:9 Lift up your heads, o ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.
24:10 Who is this king of glory? The lord of hosts, he IS the King of Glory. selah.

I hate to make a book on a post but, i found a song that goes perfectly with this chapter, it is called : "How can it be?"

O Savior as my eyes behold the wonders of thy might untold,
the heavens in glorious night aray, how vast creation thou hast made.
and yet to think thou lovest me,
my heart crys out,
How can it be?

How can it be?
How can it be?
that God should love a soul like me,
O How can it be?

As at the cross i humbly bow and gaze upon Thy thorn crowned brow,
and view the precious bleeding form,
thy cruel nails so bruised and torn.
To know thy suffering was for me,
in grief i cry out How can it be?

How can it be?
How can it be?
that God should love a soul like me
O How can it be?

How can it be?
How can it be?
was ever grace so full and free? from heights of His,
to depths of woe in loving kindness thou dist go.
From sin and shame to rescue me O Lord divine How can it be?

How can it be?
How can it be?
that God should love soul like me O How can it be?
that God should love a soul LIKE ME. How can it be?

This song really convicted me, because i tend to take for granted that i am a child of God and live like i want to... Btw Chrystal, this is the passage i was talking about last sunday night...

Love in Christ,
