Lyrics
No Comments Its not what Ive done
The world tells us that our value is based on what we do
The world places the worth of life upon what you’ve accomplished
I’ve been told that I’ll never be good enough and the truth is I don’t have to be
My salvation isn’t found in what I’ve done, but in what has been done for me
It’s a lot like you’ve been given a gift that you didn’t deserve; but that’s the beauty of it
Sometimes, we get it all confused and think that God wants us only when we’re better
That idea that we are messed up that once made us want to hide; is now the thing that frees us and allows us to accept what He did for us
People want to hide instead of come out in the open; but there is grace that meets us
People try to do better and are frustrated to come up short they feel worthless
The Gospel is not just a list of rules; it is enough because we can’t be
Jesus paid the price on the cross; so we wouldn’t have to
He put our sins upon the cross with him; they died a long with him.
Why is it so hard to grasp the reality that the reason we are who we are is because of who God is. We aren’t defined by what we do, because if we were I think we would be constantly disappointed. Have you thought about the truth that God has loved us from the very beginning? We do not have to earn anything; we just need to aknowledge the fact we are bums; but we also have to accept the gift of God.
