Faith Alone
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
My heart wishes to pray for them,
That another is ably saved;
So that the Lord does not condemn,
Because of the sin that enslaved.
For I bear witness they have zeal,
But without knowledge or wisdom;
Having no faith able to heal,
Scars for entering His Kingdom.
Not aware of the righteousness,
Seeking to establish their own;
They have been filled with carelessness,
God is unable to condone.
They never submitted to God,
About confession of their past;
The reason why they have been flawed,
Faith that is humbled to downcast.
Jesus is the end of the Law,
For righteousness those who believed;
The Holy Spirit heals the flaw,
Before righteousness is received.
