SALVATION


So many, many people
Try to work out their salvation
They try to be the best they can
In every situation
Little do they realize
The battles are already won
For sin is already conquered
Through the blood of God's own Son

They try so hard in many ways
Doing things for their fellow man
There's nothing wrong with that
As long as they understand
They can't work their way to Heaven
They can't work enough today
They can't earn their salvation
For there is just one way

It's through the blood of Jesus
Their sins are washed away
This is the only way on earth
Anyone can be saved today
Works, though they are good
Won't save your eternal soul
You must yield your life to Jesus
Allow Him to take control

The only way to heaven
And there is just one way
Is to ask Jesus Christ
Into your heart today
The blood of Jesus Christ
Is all that will atone
If He's not in your heart
Heaven won't be your home
