Because the price was paid

By Christ at Calvary

We may approach with confidence

The one who set us free

Despair is like a noose

Of unbelief in He

Who cut the chains to Hades loose

And set the captive set free

Free to pass through The Door

To the Most Holy Place

Never by what or who we are;

It is a gift of grace

Because the price was paid

By Christ at Calvary

Where restitution has been made

Therefore access is free

 Romans 5:1-5

 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, 

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand; 

and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, 

because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

perseverance, character; and character, hope.

And hope does not disappoint us, 

because God has poured out His love into our hearts 

through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
