According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5 (ESV)
To Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the promise was given
A great nation, a great name and God’s singular blessing
Through their lives’ triumphs and failures, ever battling sin
With enduring faithfulness and by grace never ending
The Word from the beginning leads us to the only One
Who became a man, the righteous requirement to provide
Through God’s love and mercy, His very own Son
The Promise of The Cross, for our sins He suffered and died
The enemy is now vanquished, my sins are forgiven
My heart’s eyes unblinded to His glory and majesty
Ransomed by The King, Christ Jesus, crucified and risen
By faith alone- let this be my life’s soul legacy
