Curse-Carrier - Galatians Series: 2

Tune: Nun Danket

(\'Now thank we all our God\')

Galatians 3 v.10-16

********

Those who do follow law

Who seeks by works to assure

Themselves of salvation

Whoe\'er from any nation

They are under the curse

Their situation worse

For listen, and this hear

Draw near in lowly fear

 

For so it is written

Cursed each one that does therein

Not continue to do

All things of the law, e\'en you

But this we surely fail

To do, \'tis mankind\'s tale

But none is justified

By law, \'tis not denied

 

In God\'s sight it shall be

We justified by faith, see

And so we then shall live

By the faith He does us give

But the law it is not

Of faith, not of that lot

But law says, All obey

And find your life that way

 

Christ has us redeemed sure

From curse of the law e\'ermore

Became for us a curse

In human life did immerse

Himself, and did fulfil

Prophecy, that from ill

We should be delivered

His grace on us conferred

 

For cursed is every one

That hangs on a tree (cross), bar none

To Abraham and seed (descendant)

Were promises made, now heed

Christ is that seed, so we

Blessed are through Him, we see

Promise of the Spirit

Given through faith each whit
