Gospel Saturated Lyrics

Alyssa just sent me this song by a band called "Take No Glory".
The song is entitled "He Didn't Die In Vain." A few lines stood out to me that I would like to point out as being very gospel-centered:

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by
Which Christ has made us free
Don’t be entangled again in a yoke of bondage
Indeed I say that if you try to attain by your own hand
Christ will profit you nothing, nothing"

Often times people point to "don't be entangled in the yoke of bondage" as more "DO". (ie-"you are a Christian, so DO!")
However, this song understands what that REALLY means... It means the next line:

"Indeed I say that if you try to attain by your own hand Christ will profit you nothing..."

Brilliant!
(Often times we rely on the Christ's work on the cross for justification, yet rely on self/self-motivation/DISCIPLESHIP for sanctification rather than...
Christ's work on the cross.)

I also love this:

"The grace of our Lord be with You
The Lord Jesus Christ
He has made us right, we’ve been justified
In the Father’s eyes"

Understanding that there is nothing we can do to lose any amount of favor/blessing from God or gain any more favor/blessing from God (which we are prone to think with our Christian living/walk.) Christ said it: "It is finished." We now have full affection from our heavenly Father. The same affection that He has for Christ.

Thank you Alyssa.
