Through Faith in Christ

Romans 3:19-25

What things so ever that the law has said,
That every mouth maybe stopped instead;
As the world becomes guilty before God,
Because all of our flesh has been flawed.

So there's no flesh justified in His sight,
For by law knowledge of sin is not right;
But now without law there is revelation,
In righteousness of God by proclamation.

As witness is given by law and prophet,
That salvation through God for to inherit;
Through your faith in Christ our Savior,
In true faith and right spiritual behavior.

With one man not different from another,
Rather a family in Christ being a brother;
But done wrong falling short of His glory,
Convicted as guilty by a judge and jury.

In the mercy of God and under His grace,
Through faith by His blood to embrace;
God lets the sins earlier be wiped clean,
Go without punishment no longer seen.
