I Am Not Told To Labour

For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift: not on the principle of works, that no one might boast. Ephesians 2:8,9

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works: Romans 4:6

  1. Ephesians 2:8,9, Romans 4:5I am not told to labour

    Hebrews 10:4, Romans 3:23To put away my sin;

    Romans 5:6, Galatians 2:16So foolish, weak, and helpless,

    Romans 5:6, Galatians 2:16I never could begin.

    1 Corinthians 15:3-5, Galatians 2:20But blessèd truth - I know it -

    Genesis 3:6-19, Romans 5:12Though ruined by the fall,

    1 Peter 3:18, 1 Peter 2:24Christ for my soul hath suffered,

    1 Peter 3:18, 1 Peter 1:21Yes, Christ has done it all!

  2. John 1:38, Isaiah 55:6And if I now would seek Him -

    John 9:35-38, Luke 15:8In love He sought for me,

    Luke 15:13,14, Luke 15:13When far from Him I wandered

    Luke 15:13,14, John 8:34In sin and misery;

    John 10:3, John 10:27He ope'd my ears, and gave me

    John 10:3, John 10:27To listen to His call;

    Matthew 18:11-14, Luke 15:8He sought me, and He found me,

    Hebrews 1:3, Acts 13:39Yes, Christ has done it all!

  3. 1 John 3:2,3, John 14:3And when in heav'nly glory

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, John 14:3My ransomed soul shall be,

    Romans 8:11, 1 Peter 2:24From sin and all pollution

    John 8:36, Galatians 3:1For ever, ever free,

    Revelation 5:9,10, Psalms 150:1-6My soul shall then still praise Him,

    Revelation 5:9,10, 2 Corinthians 8:9And loud His grace extol -

    1 Peter 1:18, Hebrews 1:3Thou hast Thyself redeemed me;

    Hebrews 10:12, Hebrews 1:3Yes, Thou hast done it all!
