We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God does want His people to lead upright lives that conform to His revealed moral standards… [Yet] morality and virtue are not the “chief end of man”… They are the result of God’s grace through Jesus Christ and part of the good work that God has foreordained for His people to do for the advancement of Christ’s kingdom and the glory of God.

Grace by Which I Stand

Lord, the feelings are not the same,

I guess I’m older, I guess I’ve
changed.

And how I wish it had been explained, that as you’re growing you
must remember,

That nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I
stand, in jesus.

I know that I would surely fall away, except for grace, by
which I’m saved.

Lord, I remember that special way,

I vowed to serve you,
when it was brand new.

But like peter, I can’t even watch and pray, one hour
with you,

And I bet, I could deny you too.

But nothing lasts, except the
grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.

I’m sure that my whole life would
waste away, except for grace, by which I’m saved.

But nothing lasts, except
the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.

I know that I would surely
fall away, except for grace, by which I’m saved.
