Easy Work

Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

You can do no work to get there
You can never pay the price
Jesus paid your eternal debt
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice.

He died for you on a cross
He died so that you might live
He died for your due punishment
He died so that God will forgive.

He arose from the grave victorious
He conquered death for all to see
He has victory over sin forever
He has a heavenly gift for you and me.

No good works can we offer
No good works can every repay
The free gift of his gospel to us
Must be understood as the only way.

But how we live after receiving
How the remainder of our days
We are called to work out our salvation
We give thanks with our lives different ways.

We humbly seek him each day
In prayer and his Word we will go
With expectant heart we desire
Which way today Lord will you show?

Abiding hearts that walk with him
Each day brings a new possible way
To live our lives differently than the world
To seek to abide with him for each day.

The heavenly works he calls us to
Are the easy part you will see
He has written them out before time
Obedience is simply the key.

From the heart that seeks to abide
Flow the gospel of his story
Sharing the good news to all
By our lives drawing him glory.
