Sin gives Death - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

If Christ had not come
if the law alone was here
no coming of grace
The gift of the cross
the submission of the lamb
the saving of man
the gift of God alone

Our sin gives death
estrangement from God
the wages of our lives
Unable to follow the law
to conform our steps to God,
needing the grace of Christ
to come before your throne
to have eternal life
