Treated Equally - 2

The Jew, the Gentile
the poor, the lame
the one who grabbed the brass ring
all of us treated equally by God
loving each of us the same

By his blood we all are saved
unable to be righteous on our own
the law a stumbling block for man
needing the sacrifice of the lamb

Only through Christ
are any of us healed
able to go before God
sent to save the whole human race
all of us sheep of his flock

“Loving God, hold not our sins against us; but
hold us up against our sins; so that in you we are
reminded, not of our sin, but of your forgiveness,
not just of what we are but what we might become.”

“Father in Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but
hold us up against our sins so that the thought of You
when it wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens,
should not remind us of what we have committed but
of what You did forgive, not of how we went astray
but of how You did save us!”
