Acceptable to God

By faith we have been made,
Since the Lord has conveyed;
Through the price we were bought,
As good enough or not.

For the Lord Jesus Christ,
With being sacrificed;
Even though we are flawed,
Can live in peace with God.

A kindness undeserved,
Through a faith that's preserved;
On which we take a stand,
On rock not sinking sand.

For faith helps us endure,
So we will know for sure;
By God as well received,
What we firmly believed.

His Spirit from above,
Fills our hearts with love;
As we honor and laud,
In acceptance by God.
