Ephesians 2:1 – 8
The Message
You filled your lungs with polluted
unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience.
He took our sin-dead lives
and made us alive in Christ.
Saving is all His idea, and all His work.
All we do is trust Him enough to let Him do it.
God does both the making and
the saving.
Ephesians 2:1As for you,
you were dead in your
transgressionsand sins…
:5 – (God) made us
alive with Christ
even when we were dead in
transgressions -
It is by Grace
you have been saved!
:7 – [He did this that]
He might show the incomparable riches
of His Grace…
:8 – For it is by Graceyou have been saved,
through faith –and this not
of yourselves, it is the
GIFT OF GOD!
MERCYis not
getting what you
deserve;
GRACEis getting what you
don’t deserve.
From sinking sandHe lifted me;
with tender hand,He lifted me!
From shades of night
to planes of Light,oh, praise the Lord,
He lifted me!
I will praise Him!
I will praise Him!
Praise the Lambfor sinners
slain!
Give Him glory
all ye people,for His Blood
can wash away
each stain.
Nothing but the Blood of
Jesus!
Nothing but the Blood of
Jesus!
Nothing but the Blood of
Jesus!
Nothing but the Blood of
Jesus!
So, I’ll cherishthe Old
Rugged Cross,‘til my trophies
at last I lay down.
I will cling to the Old
Rugged Crossand exchange
it,someday,
for a crown.
Amazing Love,how can it be,
that Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?
Now I belong to Jesus,
Jesus belongs to me –
not for the years of time alone,
but for eternity!
I will pour wateron him
who is thirsty;I will pour floods
upon the dry ground.
Open your heart
for the gift I am bringing,while you are seeking Me,
I will be found!
Jesus paid it all;all to Him I owe.
Sin had left acrimson stain;He washed it
white as snow!
Hallelujah!I have
found Him –Whom my
soulso long
had craved!
Jesus satisfiesmy longings;
through His BloodI now am saved.
When we’ve been there ten thousand
years,bright, shining
as the sun,
We’ve no less daysto sing
God’s praisethan when
we first begun!
