Ourselves are Jews by birth,
And not Gentile sinners;
While living here on earth,
Under Christ we are winners.
Yet we know that a person,
Not justified by their deeds;
But through the faith of the Son,
Who will cater to your needs.
For we have believed in Christ,
Faith in Christ not of the Law;
Through Him who was sacrificed,
Restoring us mends the flaw.
Your quest to be justified,
Finding yourself a sinner;
But faith in the Crucified,
Will make you as a winner.
If I build what I torn down,
Then I am a transgressor;
And will not receive my crown,
As being an aggressor.
For through the Law I have died,
So that I might live with God;
For faith in the Crucified,
By giving honor and laud.
For I have been crucified,
No longer am I who live;
Since now I am justified,
Transgressions He did forgive.
I am crucified with Christ,
Nevertheless I live not;
Inside of me sacrificed,
Iniquities He had bought.
I live by faith in the Son,
Who loved me to give His life;
So that the battle is won,
Against any evil strife.
I nullify not His grace,
If righteousness came by Law;
Jesus could never embrace,
By healing every flaw.
