A Living Faith

Galatians 2:15-21

Knowing that a man not justified by law,
No righteousness by the works of a flaw;
Only through our faith in Jesus Christ,
Gained salvation in Him being sacrificed.

We have faith as to getting righteousness,
From God in His grace and blessedness;
Not by the works in His law here on earth,
Because no flesh ever gets it through birth.

Because of this body is saturated in sin,
And our thoughts that stray from within;
Rather through the law I became dead,
So I might become living in God instead.

For I have been put to death on the cross,
Still living but in Christ since the loss;
Though I may be living in this fleshy shell,
It's my living faith within that's to dwell.

A faith of the Son of God sharing His love,
Joining the Father in the Kingdom above;
A living faith for Christ a promise to me,
As His death wasn't in vain for all to see.
