Lest Any Man Should Boast
There so clearly seen, amongst all the words of scripture
As Jesus certainly did mean, even though you're not so sure
For it is by His Grace alone, as nothing else could save you
So let it be well known of this great gift that Jesus gave anew
But just as it was given, you need not accept if you so choose
Yet if you knew truth, you'd see Jesus alone paid your dues
So let no man boast for as the Lord Himself has clearly said
As I only write these posts for those who are being misled
But so many will still persist in the making of their own rules
Bypassing what is in our midst, taking what the devil offers to fools
His Word will keep you strong, His Wisdom so far beyond your own
Yet in the singing of His Song, the Joy of His Mercy can be known
Jesus did not write this book but referred to it over and over again
Surely you could take a new look, written by 40 amazing different men
Most of these 40 men never met being written over 1600 long years
But all the wisdom one does get as the Lord's Own Word nears
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
It is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
