Bearing the Banner


"Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth" (Psalm 60:4).  "Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?" (Proverbs 20:9).  "The voice of the Almighty God… speaketh" (Ezekiel 10:5).  "Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh… Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins" (James 5:8,20). 

We're bearing the banner God gave  
Declaring the truth of salvation,
For no one but Jesus can save
And rescue us from condemnation. 

How vain is the boasting of many
Who think that their own heart is clean,
While God has declared there's not any
Who are without sin He has seen. 

The truth is that Christ is our Savior;
To Him every knee shall soon bow.  
The time to be seeking His favor
According to Scripture is NOW.     

We're bearing the banner of grace,
O Lord, that's displaying Your love
That brought You to die in our place
To fit us for heaven above.
