GRACE VS. WORKS <\/p>\n

So you are stuck on works,
\nYou hope they save you someday,
\nYou think they give you perks,
\nBut it doesn’t work that way.<\/p>\n

Our Salvation is by Grace,
\nThere is nothing we can do,
\nBecause Jesus took our place,
\nHis Father accepts us too.<\/p>\n

Thus our works cannot save us,
\nElse Jesus just died in vain,
\nBut yet His Father forgave us,
\nWhich makes the truth so plain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
