JUSTIFIED BY FAITH<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

The Law was our schoolmaster,
\nIt taught us all about sin,
\nShowing us darkness and evil,
\nWhich in us all lurks within.<\/p>\n

But by that very same Law,
\nWe cannot ever be justified,
\nSo God had a special plan,
\nThus our Savior Jesus died.<\/p>\n

There is simply no other way,
\nExcept thru His Blood alone,
\nOur righteousness is by faith,
\nFor our sins Jesus did atone.<\/p>\n

God’s chosen unblemished Lamb,
\nKnowing no sin, no not at all,
\nOut of love He was sacrificed,
\nHe was willing to take the fall.<\/p>\n

Now justified by His own Blood,
\nWith our Father we have peace,
\nRescued from the Mosaic Law,
\nOur thanks should never cease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
