The Works of God -John 6: 28,29
It's such an old age question
a question asked by every generation
there's wonder in the asking voice
that's filled with mindful fascination
In this gospel of John, it's recorded here
the disciples ask Jesus what they want to know
what was it they had to do? a real work?
Jesus knew the answer this He would show
This work of God, could man do such?
a divine work that only Christ can do
but a sinful man had to find a holy way
one that was spirit filled so divinely true
Jesus revealed the answer so sought
the work of God is for man to believe
on the eternal son of God that was sent
by the father for souls elected to retrieve
The gift to repent of our sin
is given only by God alone
to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
this too divinely given sins to atone
("Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”)
John 6: 28,29 (ESV)
