From Isaiah 64:6: “We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.”
Coming into this harsh world
Born spiritually dead
Ruled by darkest deceptions
Sinful nature fills life’s thread
Do we deserve God’s goodness?
Facing our Holy Lord’s wrath
Separated by our sins
Satan lights a wayward path
Our lives resemble darkness
Righteous acts, thin and meager
Offering nothing of value
Father’s true love, remains eager
Calling upon the Lord’s name
Deliver us from our sins
God, the Potter, molding us
Transforming the clay, He wins
Once living under the flesh
Filled with darkest death and sin
By Holy Grace, saved through faith
Walking with Christ, life’s linchpin
Placing virgin faith in Christ
In spirit, alive through Him
Body and blood, Cross vanquished
Sins pardoned, new life in Him
From Ephesians 2:4-6: “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved–and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
