The True Life
Those who trust in lying vanities
Forsake the grace that could be theirs
They try to earn what's freely given
The Gift to be as Heaven's heirs.
Novenas, masses, sacraments -
Idols mute and sadly worthless
Arrayed to be Deception's garment
These fail to give man holiness.
The Gift of Life came from the Cross
It is received by Faith and Trust
The LORD Christ Jesus paid the Cost
Only though Him, believe we must.
'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.'
Romans 6: 23
'Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.'
Jonah 2: 8
