By Grace Through Faith
Category: /General/
(50 views)0
You were dead in iniquities,
Through all your trespasses and sin;
From immoral activities,
That has corrupted you within.
Wherein in time past that you walked,
Following the course of this world;
Since the prince of the air had talked,
Disobedience had unfurled.
Among whom we all had once lived,
To satisfy our compassions;
Desires of mind are not sieved,
Allowing disgraceful fashions.
But being rich in His mercy,
Because of compassionate love;
God opened our eyes to see,
As His blessings flowed from above.
Although we were dead in sinning,
He made us alive within Christ;
By grace for a new beginning,
Mercy and grace that has enticed.
We are raised up from our death,
Seated us with Him in Heaven;
The Holy Spirit gave new breath,
Through salvation that was given.
In the coming age He might show,
Exceeding riches of His grace;
In His kindness that we will know,
When we will see Him face to face.
Through faith by grace you have been saved,
And this is not your own doing;
To stop letting you be enslaved,
Iniquities from pursuing.
Of your own works not a result,
That no one is able to boast;
Rather a spiritual adult,
With grace from the heavenly Host.
Because we are His workmanship,
Created in Christ for the good;
Allowing us to get a grip,
Each and everything that we should.
