Sin Problem Solved Perfectly


"Except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.  It is vain for you to… sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so He giveth His beloved sleep" (Psalm 127:2).  "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged" (Proverbs 16:6).  "Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me… Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity?... He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea" (Micah 7:7,18,19).  "Who is this that forgiveth sins also?" (Luke 7:49).    

It's vain for us to sit up late
In restless worry, losing sleep, 
When we are called to trust and wait
On Christ, the Shepherd of His sheep.

Our greatest problem, after all,
A battle we could never win,
Was our undoing at the fall,
But grace and truth has purged our sin. 

The Lord subdued iniquity
By laying down His life for us. 
Our sins are cast into the sea;
Is not our Savior marvelous? 

The problem of our sin, O Lord,
Was solved so perfectly by You!
You paid what we could not afford:  
Your blood has purged our sins from view.
