I thought I'd share a song that I've been singing. I was trying to capture/meditate a little bit on the idea of the new righteousness and justified standing we have before God which comes through faith in Jesus and his work, "apart from the law" and strictly outside of any particular works of our own, but "through faith, so no one may boast."
It's even got a touch of the apartment voice softness which we know well here...maintaining the quiet environment of our tenancy ;)
you clothe us up in your good way
with a little belief you put us in our place
you stitch us up a new garnment
with the strongest buttons and just the right fit
and so we cling to your sweet deeds
with a ton of mercy and a little belief
we believe and we live in belief
we don't see but we still walk onwardly
we know you did once walk the earth
you spread your fingers through the sand
you did breathe the air we breathe
you know just what I'm encountering
and so you place your life in mine
belief in you will stand the test of time
one day we will know
even as we are known to you now
