Blessed and Blameless

“In the son of man… there is no help” (Psalm 146:3).  “The curse causeless shall not come” (Proverbs 26:2).  “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ… that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love… accepted in the Beloved, in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:3-7). 

There was no help or hope in man  

To save those who by sin were cursed. 

Our God alone brought forth the plan

To give His best, and take our worst. 

Since we forsook God’s moral laws

There had to be a consequence. 

The curse of judgment had a cause,

And we were left without defense. 

O praise the Lord who found a way

To bless those who deserved His wrath!

He weighed the Price that He must pay

To pluck us from our hell-bound path.

In Christ is where new life begins:  

In Him we have our hiding place,

Redemption, pardon for our sins,

And all the riches of His grace! 

O Lord, we praise Your holy name;  

In You we find eternal rest!

In You we’re holy, without blame;

You died so that we could be blest. 

Now blest and blameless in You, Lord,

Astonished by Your love so true,

We show the lost the great Reward

That waits for all who trust in You.
