By Faith, Not Works

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We live within a sin filled world

And we each bear the stain.

Despite all of the good we do,

The sin will still remain.

 

We cannot undo what we’ve done,

Those wrongs can’t be made right.

There is no good work we can do

That will turn dark to light.

 

We are forever doomed to death,

The wage that’s paid for sin,

If restitution relies on

The broken lives of men.

 

There is no recompense for sin

If left to our device,

But our redemption has been won

Through perfect sacrifice.

 

Stand in that grace and walk in faith,

That you may someday claim

The absolution granted you

By living in His name.

 

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
