So Often This Sinner Marvels!

 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.
