A song we sang at church again today, which rings so very true:
Song by
Shane & Shane
All sufficient merit shining like the sun
A fortune I inherent, by no work I have done
My righteousness I forfeit at my Savior's cross
Where all sufficient merit did what I could not
In love, He condescended, eternal now in time
A life without a blemish, the Maker made to die
The law could never save us, our lawlessness had won
Until the pure and spotless Lamb had finally come
It is done, it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full, all sufficient
Merit now my own, yeah
I lay down my garments, any empty boast
Good works now all corrupted by the sinful host
I'm dressed in my Lord Jesus, a crimson robe made white
No more fear of judgement, His righteousness is mine
It is done, it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full, all sufficient
Merit now my own (it is done)
It is done, it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full, all sufficient
Merit now my own
Oh, His righteousness is mine
All sufficient merit, firm in life and death
The joy of my salvation shall be my final breath
When I stand accepted before the throne of God
I'll gaze upon my Jesus, and thank Him for the cross
Yes, I'll thank Him for the cross
It is done, it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full, all sufficient
Merit now my own
It is done, it is finished
No more debt I owe (paid in full)
Paid in full, all sufficient
Merit now my own
Oh, Your merit now my own
Oh, Your merit now my own
