Your righteousness is not of you.
It’s not determined by what you do.
Our righteousness we must confess
Is Jesus Christ, pure holiness.
It is by faith that we are saved.
By faith alone, our sins are waived
If we would have a love, that’s true
Our wicked heart must be made new.
When you realize all is forgiven
A new heart from God, you are given.
You will not condemn your neighbor
You’ll praise God for good behavior.
The world does not give such a treasure.
Forgiveness is joy beyond earth’s measure.
It is that cleansing, which makes us one
With God, our Father, and Christ, his Son.
Jesus said this to a self-righteous man, “To whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” Luke 7:47 KJV
They are covered by the blood.
Nellie Edwards 1904
They are covered by the blood.
They are covered by the blood.
My sins are all covered by the blood.
My iniquities so vast have been blotted out at last
And my sins are all covered by the blood.
