Your heart is vile and full of sin,
For just one lie will stain,
Your soul and make it black within,
You’ve sinned and sinned again.
.
But God is love you say to me
The Bible tells us thus,
Ah yes dear soul He’s love indeed,
But God is also just.
.
You’ve sinned and so you stand condemned
Before a perfect God,
For sinners, hell will be their end
Lest washed in Jesus blood.
.
But as you say our God is love,
He’s full of mercy too,
And so in love He came to earth,
And lived and died for you.
.
He lived a man but did not sin,
And so in sinners place,
The wrath of God was laid on Him,
He saves us by His grace.
.
The price of sin was fully paid
And justice there was done,
So we by faith can be set free
Through God’s beloved Son.
.
Dear soul come in repentance true,
Then turn in faith and see,
That Jesus Christ has died for you
From sin to set you free.
.
Come, find in Him a rest complete,
Find Joy beyond compare,
Find life, find love, find perfect peace,
A Friend who’s always there.
