By birth, we are Gentile sinners,
Not as any Jew by nature
But Christ has made us all winners,
By becoming a new creature.
We are not justified by deed,
Rather by faith through Jesus Christ;
And in Christ Jesus, we believed,
The reason He was sacrificed.
By works of the Law, we believe,
Nobody will be justified;
But the salvation we receive,
Because He had been crucified.
Seek to be justified in Christ,
We have been found to be sinners;
Let not you ever be enticed,
To become spiritual winners.
If I rebuild what is destroyed,
I make myself a transgressor;
Repeating what had been employed,
Turning into an aggressor.
For I died because of the Law,
So that I might live unto God;
Confessing about any flaw,
And worship to honor and laud.
I have been crucified with Christ,
It is no longer I who live;
Because Jesus Christ has enticed,
Finding mercy as to forgive.
By my faith in the flesh I live,
In Jesus as the Son of God;
Mercy and grace for to forgive,
His Spirit cleans where I am flawed.
I do not nullify His grace,
Because Jesus has a purpose;
For He does righteously embrace,
To guide with the moral compass.
