Justification Expectation
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
While we were still weak,
Christ died at the right time;
For the heathen to seek,
Redemption for their crime.
One who did scarcely die,
For someone good would dare;
No longer would they lie,
Through confession to share.
God commanded His love,
When we were still sinners;
The Father from above,
Blest to make us winners.
We are now justified,
Much more we shall be saved;
Through Christ was crucified,
Sin has no more enslaved.
If while we were foes,
God has reconciled;
For faith and trust from those,
Become undefiled.
Joy comes through our Lord,
Through whom we have received;
God be loved and adored,
Atonement who has believed.
