No One Righteous; Praise God for His Gifts

There is no one righteous, NO ONE.
No one seeks God, NO ONE seeks Him.
There is no fear of God, none before men’s eyes.
All have sinned. ALL have sinned,
And no one will be called righteous by the law,
BUT there IS righteousness.
It comes only by faith, faith ONLY in Christ.
By His grace we are saved, by His grace justified.
No boasting allowed. Remember it’s all by Him.
Now the law is still good. Praise God for His law.
Let’s not throw it aside, but uphold it because
He gave it to us like He gave us our faith.
We are so blessed, so blessed by the Lord.
He’s forgiven our sins, not to count anymore.
He credits us righteousness, by faith freely given.
We’re delivered from death because He took our place.
We’re raised to new life, justified when He rose.
What peace this does bring! What peace this does bring!
Grace gained by faith in Jesus the Christ
Brings us peace with the Father, the one Holy God.
Oh, rejoice in the hope, the hope of His glory.
This hope is a gift, from the love of the Father
To our hearts by the his Spirit, the Holy Spirit.
So rejoice even suffering, even it is a gift.
Praise God for his death, for life that He gives,
For grace, for faith, for forgiveness from Him,
For salvation, justification, hope, peace, and joy.
His gifts are so wonderful, there could be nothing more.
