Fits tune: Trewen
(one tune to 'A debtor to mercy alone')
Romans 5 v.1 - 9
********
Being justified by faith, see
We have peace with God, it now be
Possible through Christ, His own Son
He the redemption work has done
And by Christ we have access too
By faith into grace, it is true
This grace wherein we now do stand
Avails to all of every land
And this is not only so, for
We glory in troubles, are sure
That troubles work patience, and too
Patience works experience new
And experience hope does bring
Hope makes not ashamed any thing
Because the love of God is shed
Love of Christ who rose from the dead
This love shed abroad in our hearts
By the Spirit who ne'er departs
He given to us by the Son
He the holy dove, He the one
Who leads us into the truth all
E'en each one that does hear His call
Come fill us, each day, heavenly guest
Live in us, reside, in us rest
For when we were yet without strength
Christ did come to die, and at length
In due time did die for us, give
Himself for us that we may live
We the ungodly far away
From Him, yet He did the price pay
To bring us all back to His fold
And in His strong care gently hold
Here God His love to us commends
A love shown that is without ends
'Tis in this, that Christ came to die
For us, ever truth, is no lie
Much more now, being justified
By His blood we in Him confide
And so from wrath we shall be saved
Through Christ, for He the way has paved

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8888 8888 metre (Double Long Metre = DLM) and a guitar lesson for you in the clip! A little repetitive in places I know. Also a fair number of 'and' and 'too', yet a sequence is being described in verse 2 particularly.

Let not our faith waver as Mose's did when he struck the rock twice with the staff and water gushed from the rock . God punished Moses for his doubts for he did not do as God commanded and speak to the rock . The rock provided water and salvation for the Isrealites . Just as Jesus is our rock of salvation we should not doubt his ablity to save us or we might not be allowed to enter the promise land .
Thanks S.
