OCTOBER 9 Romans 6:19-“Yield your members to righteousness and holiness”
I CANNOT-BUT HE CAN
I cannot atone for my sinning. I cannot redeem my world.
I cannot make things go rightly. In spite of our sin, His love was unfurled.
I cannot sanctify and satisfy. I cannot make evil become pure.
Calvary made all the difference. He saved me and I am sure.
God in His infinite mercy devised a plan for all my sin
Calvary made the difference and now by His Grace, I am in.
Understand well, dear weary Sinner. We have nothing, no merit to claim
Forgiven by the mercy of Jesus. God is pleased and we’re free from all shame.
We cannot bear our own sinning. We can never justify ourselves.
Only by the atonement of Calvary, do we inherit God’s eternity of wealth.
