Incomplete forgiveness,
Now what could that mean?
Could there really be such a thing?
Our Father, in the Bible, teaches
Mercy, forgiveness, grace and love
Presented clearly through Christ, our Lord.
Lost; we’re burdened down with sin
Eternal sacrifice; only Christ can cleanse.
To those who seek, they will surely find
Everlasting life and beautiful blessings!
Forgiveness, you see, has to be complete
Only through Jesus and not through works;
Requirement fulfilled only through faith
Giving up our own wicked righteousness.
Indeed, if we follow the law to a ‘T’
Victorious in works, rich in nothing
Ever depending on what we have done
Never seeing that Christ is sufficient
Empty we are and at death we will
Sleep in incomplete forgiveness
Severed from Him for eternity.
Beseech now the Lord, put aside
Empty works of the law, evil arrogance
And bow before the Lord totally exposed
Utterly naked, without works, undone.
Trust in Him only and His righteousness
Include nothing of yourself or what you‘ve done,
For we are filthy rags standing before God.
Utilize His grace, for by it must we be saved,
Loose all your righteous works, they are filthy rags.
Bow before the Lord, blessings will be found,
Love will be given, grace and mercy too.
Every one of us who, without deadly works
Seeks by truth the Lords treasured gifts
Shall forever more rest safely in Him
Inheriting salvation, by faith, not by works.
Never trust in self before God; remember
Gaining complete God forgiveness will
Send forth beautiful, enormous blessings!
