In God I Trust

We need holiness…

If we hope to see

The Lord of righteousness 

Then sin we have to flee.

But I fear I must confess

That’s not describing me-

I am One unholy mess,

That’s what I’m prone to be 

What a wretched reality!

 

But what God requires

He always will provide

He preserves me thru the fire 

Where I’m being sanctified.

Our Jesus never tires

In Him I can confide-

He lifts me ever higher

And devastates my pride,

And one day I will be glorified 

 

Declared just 

In God I trust

I cannot do what I must

But Christ in me can

Now before the throne I stand

As a righteous holy man

 

He chose before all time

The ones He also called

Grafted to the vine

He justified them all

Now glorified by the Divine

And by holiness enthralled

Now joined to the sublime,

The greatest and the small

We are ransomed from the fall…

 

Declared just 

n God I trust

I cannot do what I must

But Christ in me can

Now before the throne I stand

As a righteous holy man
