We as Well

"For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.... Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.... Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him, but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:3,23-25).

What was it Abraham had found?
What is it Scripture says?
As David likewise did expound:
By faith, God's righteousness.

What Abraham and David found
Now we as well are shown.
This Scripture that was written down
Was not for them alone.

Hallelujah! We as well
By faith have found the place
Where righteousness that saves from hell
Is given by His grace!

That place where we are justified
Is sure and undisputed.
By faith in Christ, who for us died,
Is righteousness imputed.
