Passion For Peace

orchidee



Tune: Old Yeavering

('Like a mighty river flowing')

Romans Chapter 5 part

*******

Peace, peace, it good folk do seek sure

Whence comes peace, where be it e'ermore?

Surely when human hearts changed are

By nature they from God far

 

Yet Jews counted near to God be

And Gentiles as far from Him, see

Both to Him can be reconciled

Though sin's state makes all defiled

 

How this reconcile, atonement?

'Tis through Christ, God's only Son sent

Being justified by faith here

Believing the gospel clear

 

So thus justified we have peace

With God, a peace that shall not cease

Obtained through our Lord Jesus Christ

Offering, sacrifice, sufficed

 

Human plans for full peace measure

Somewhat only gains this this treasure

A fruit of the Spirit, peace be

God's power through you and me
