OCTOBER 5 – Romans 5:12-“Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”

 ONE MAN

One Man took the blame for my sinning.

One Man took my place on the cross.

One Man planned my full redemption

One Man emptied sin’s evil dross.

One man was a conduit of evil.

Satan had fallen from Grace.

Because of one man’s selfish decision

I had a hell-filled future to face.

But God in His Infinite mercy,

Our God who knows everything,

Had Calvary planned to the finish

No longer do I fear hell’s sting.

Because Adam made a choice to do evil

Because I’m as human, I’m born in sin

But I have the option of choosing

Forgiven by Jesus, my salvation wins.

Thank You Lord, for my sin’s forgiveness.

Thank You for Your love for me

Because of God’s plan of redemption

One Man chose to die and I’m free.
