He’s still working on me to make me what I ought to be!
There ought to be a sign board across my heart
That says I AM AN UNFINISHED WORK
But He has promised not to give up on me
And one day I will be perfected, just according to His plan!
Until that glorious day comes, on the one hand,
I myself with my mind serve the law of God,
On the other hand, with my flesh I serve the law of sin (Romans 7:25)
Amazing GRACE that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
Just as I first came to Him, I cannot but come JUST AS I AM
Without one plea, but that His blood was shed for me
And He still bidst me…COME, YE WHO ARE WEARY
And reminds me that there is now NO CONDEMNATION
For those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)
On that glorious day, when I shall leave this body
And He my spirit receive, I want to be found in Him,
Not having my own righteousness, which is from the law
But having the righteousness of God, which is by faith through Christ Jesus.
For it is not by the will of the flesh nor by the will of man, but of God.
(Philippians 3:9, John 1:13)
What does the LORD require of me, except that I do justly,
love mercy and walk humbly with my God? (Micah 6:8)
What does the LORD expect of me, but that I should bask in His Love for me
For He well knows that I am an UNFINISHED work
Covered by the work which He declared on the cross: ‘IT IS FINISHED’
(John 19:30)
