Romans 3:19-28
*
the law was set in place in a world that needed it
the world held accountable in the way God saw fit
'just follow the law; get saved'? not a bit!
it's just made us conscious of sin, aware of the pit
we try and try to be perfect in God's eyes
in all of human history, some never realize
that no matter how hard we shoot for the prize
we fall just short; only redeemed at a price
but, great news, God's righteousness revealed
in faith, our salvation eternally sealed
every spiritual illness, in Jesus be healed
our sins be gone, our shame concealed
where, then, is boasting? you did not save
your own sorry butt from Death's dark cave
but Jesus Christ's own spotless life, He gave
the bridge to eternity, He died to pave
