Tune: Ratisbon
('Christ whose glory fills the skies')
Romans 5 v.6-11
*******
For when we no strength did have
Christ in due time came to save
He died for the ungodly
To bring us to God, so be
For scarcely for righteous man
Will one die, e'en if they can
Perhaps for a good man some
Would even dare to die, come
With a willingness of heart
To give life up, every part
But God commends His love to
Us, that we may see, e'en you
For while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us, grace confers
On us, much more then being
Justified by Him, we sing
That by His blood we shall be
Saved from wrath eternally
For if, when we enemies
Were reconciled, truth agrees
To God by death of His Son
He the holy, sinless One
Much more, now we reconciled
Shall be saved, by His life styled
Not only this, but we too
Rejoice in God now anew
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, He
The one by whom we have, see
Now received the atonement
We forgiven, repentant

Beautiful Orchi! What would we be willing to sacrifice for the good of another?

Got any lucre?! lol.
I'm afraid the lucre jar is empty. lol
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
My mother was devout and would cherish your writes. I read from her point of view and I honor her as I set aside my skeptic habit. Back to that kind discussion on a different day.
Thanks B.
All good.
