Romans 3:22-24
This righteousness is given through faith in h Jesus Christ to all who believe.
There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
, 24and all are justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
So often misinterpreted
So often misunderstood
So often, not loved but hated
Still, God is love,
God is good
Ignored or doubted, so often
Rejected, scorned and despised
So often unthanked, forgotten
Still Mercy’s goodness
Abides
Constant is His kind extolment
While mortal inhales, exhales
Often blind to Guilt’s atonement
(yet) God’s forgiveness
Never fails
So often refused with boldness
Man befriends gods cold and base
So often, still He defends us
Undeserving of
Love’s grace
So often He longs to save us
From pride’s folly and its fall
Where so often hunger blazes
Trails right through
A miracle

Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers,
nor things present nor things to come,
39nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us
from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
