O BLESSED GIFT OF
FAITH Don Fortner
(Tune: Stand Up and
Bless The Lord #33 SM)
Once
to the law I looked
For hope, but found
instead
Its' holiness and just
demands
Pronounced this sinner
dead.
Then
grace revealed to me
The sin-atoning Lamb!
Convinced that He could
save my soul,
To Christ, by faith, I
came.
Looking
to Christ, I saw
God's justice
satisfied;
The Spirit, speaking
through His blood,
Declared, "You're
justified!"
By
faith I know God's Son
Is my atoning Priest;
Trusting alone what
Christ has done,
My heart has now found
rest.
O blessed gift of
faith,
The gift of God's free
grace;
Knowing the source of
salvation,
It gives Jehovah
praise!
