Salvation for our Sake

"Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law" (Psalm 119:18).  "Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?" (Proverbs 20:9).  "I drew them with cords of a Man, with bands of love" (Hosea 11:4).  "This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations" (Matthew 24:14). 

There is a Law that will not bend

For those who wish to close their eyes. 

There is a judgment in the end

That God shall never compromise. 

The Law of God is on display

To show us that we need a Savior. 

No one is clean; not one can say

That they are pure in their behavior.

But Christ has shown to us His plan

And drawn us with His cords of love:   

He laid His life down as a Man

That we might dwell with Him above. 

Your Law demanded condemnation,

But for our sake, O Lord, You died. 

This is the Gospel of salvation

Whereby Your Law is satisfied.
