The Laws of God

Romans 3:27-31

What reason is there for you to hold pride?
It's shut out no need for keeping it inside,
By a law of faith a man gets righteousness,
That will increase the flow of blessedness;
Is God only God to Jews or of Gentiles too?
God one of the same for both me and you,
Seeing that it is one God as the God of all,
Man's justified by faith apart from the law;
Do we through faith make law of no effect?
Making it clear that the law has an affect.
Our faith in God does not make us exempt,
Or find a judge charging you with contempt;
As for the laws of the land you still abide,
In maintaining your faith and trust inside;
Even if some of the laws do not seem fair,
Respect the law but point out the snare;
Saying to the powers to be about the flaw,
And exactly how we can change the law;
The laws of man can change as they should,
But the laws of God are etched in blood.
