I believe His grace surpasses all my need.
My faith is in the blood of Christ, not some religious creed.
When it comes to righteousness, I possess none-
All I can claim, is that of God, the Son.

I have found the Word of God provides indeed-
All the sustenance and shelter that I need…
There is cleansing in the Word as It’s applied-
And assurance that for me a Savior died.

All that’s going on I find was prophesied-
Man’s arrogance, perversion, and his pride.
Though the world may reel… I simply can’t despair-
For I know that I am safely in His care.

I believe He’s coming back just as He said-
The trump will sound and it will raise the dead…
We’ll drop this flesh and meet Him in the air-
And see the place He promised to prepare.

This world is not my home; for this I’m glad-
For all I see and hear, my friend, is bad-
This world is ruled by vile and evil scum-
I can fervently agree… Lord Jesus, Come!

Peace while we wait, John.

Quite done with earth at this point too.
