Undeserved Forgiveness

If we confess our sins,

he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9

 

Undeserved forgiveness

God, how can it be?

For you fully witness

Our depravity

Yet You do not waver

Lord, if we confess

You cleanse us, dear Saviour

From unrighteousness

Lord of loving kindness

You grant in wrath’s place

Undeserved forgiveness

Unmerited grace

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, 

and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,  

not by works, so that no one can boast.

Eph.2:8-9
