We ourselves are Jews at birth,
Not Gentiles to be sinners;
We are set here upon the earth,
But justified to be winners.

A person is not justified,
By works accomplished of the Law;
But by faith in the crucified,
Confession erases the flaw.

If to be justified in Christ,
And found to be servants of sin;
Acknowledge He was sacrificed,
For us a new life to begin.

What I tore down if I rebuild,
I make myself a transgressor;
Because corruption has been filled,
By Satan as the oppressor.

Through the Law I die to the Law,
So that I might live to the Lord;
I will go to answer the call,
When I will be in one accord.

I have been crucified with Christ,
It is no longer I who live;
Rather it is Christ who has enticed,
Through confession God did forgive.

For my faith through the Son of God,
Who loves and gave His life for me;
The reason I honor and laud,
So, I can live eternally.

I do not nullify His grace,
If righteousness were through the Law;
Then Christ would have died in disgrace,
Heaven would be blocked by a wall.
