Salvation and Its Basis
SALVATION AND ITS BASIS
I am not saved by feelings,
For feelings are deceiving,
The Word of God is what I trust,
None else is worth believing
.
I am not saved by doing,
But by a work that's done,
For God accepts no other work,
Than that of His dear Son.
I am not saved by praying,
Though prayer can helpful be,
It's only when I make Christ Lord,
That I from sin am free.
I am not saved by ritual,
Of dogmas, church or creed,
For God in His great wisdom knew,
New birth is what I need.
I am not saved by people,
Their visions or revelations,
But only by an act of God,
The Word calls 'regeneration'
.
I am saved when I believe
In Romans ten, verse nine,
For then God works a miracle,
And makes salvation mine.
