Under the Law, within the Arms of Grace

We are convicted
when we are under the law
found wanting by our sin
estranged from the living God
Only by Christ’s sacrifice
going to the cross
we live reborn, restored,
within God’s arms of grace
protected all our days
in the warmth of His love
guiding us if we will follow
by the Spirit, like a dove
showing us how to life
to walk in the way
sharing Christ with everyone
till our dying day
