From Romans 5:1-2:  “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.”

Observing man’s life without light

Sending grace from heaven to earth

Darkness to be vanquished outright

Harboring Spirit finds its berth

Witnessing Savior’s final task

Hanging from deadly, Roman tree

Filled with anguish, mercy unmasks

Taking man’s place, evil now flees

Sharing destiny’s greatest love

Bending God’s will upon one Son

Redemption designed from above

Breathing His last, mission now done

Seeing heaven’s eternal light

Descending upon empty tomb

Victory over sin takes flight

Overcoming enemy’s doom

From Romans 5:8-9:  “But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.  Much more surely, therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, will we be saved through Him from the wrath of God.”
