Justified

Verse 1
To gain a people, a holy bride,
Christ was humbled and left His Father’s side.
He lived and died to honor God alone
and now He sits beside Him at His throne.
From every nation, from every creed
Soon all before Him will bow on bended knee.
For He is King over earth and heav’n
And to that kingdom there will be no end

Chorus
The wrath of God is satisfied for us
Christ’s sacrifice has proven He is just
The death He died has given us new life
Christ paid the price, now we can be justified

Verse 2
Though we were fallen and dead in sin
He called a people that could not choose Him.
And if He calls we cannot reject,
For with His blood He saved our souls from death
This gift of grace that paid the price for me
Has cleansed my heart and set me free.
In bondage I was chained, a slave to sin.
But now my will is captive, owed to Him

This song encapsulates why I love Christ. That he would choose to die for declared enemies... How can I not be bound to do His will?

nice......i like your song bro. It encapsulates the efficacy of Calvary and the beatific Gospel that is made ours definitely. Although, I think I like the "Free will" song better. I had the priviledge of watching it with Doc, Kauffmann, and Mcgrew, as we all ripped it apart with our free willish words. Thanks for lettin us all know about it.
