UNDER GOD’S CURSE

We want to think we can earn God’s favor;

That God rewards our good behavior;

That He is impressed with all our labors;

But then we would not need a Savior.

Such thinking could not possibly be worse,

All who teach that come under God’s curse.

Surely all my good deeds must matter.

Surely my reward must be fatter.

It must be my choice that makes me saved.

Then to stay saved, I must learn to behave.

Such thinking could not possibly be worse,

All who teach that come under God’s curse.

On the Cross, salvation’s plan was finished.

God’s love and grace would be diminished,

If we think that we need to do more.

For it was all of our sins that He bore.

Such thinking could not possibly be worse,

All who teach that come under God’s curse.

To the gospel of grace we must be true.

To earn God’s grace there’s nothing we can do.

Thinking our deeds matter is a disgrace

Living by works means to fall away from grace.

Such thinking could not possibly be worse,

All who teach that come under God’s curse.
