Condemnation! Text
by Fred G. Zaspel, Copyright, 1995*
Sing to the tune of "Morning Has Broken,"
traditional Gaelic melody
No condemnation Now in Christ
Jesus!
Great consolation -- Jesus has died!
Our sin laid on Him, Full pardon
gives us.
Looking by faith dim, We're
justified!
With judgment sure, must God
recompense us?
He perfectly just, What is our plea?
This: "Christ is for us! Who is
against us?"
His blood shed for us Pardons, sets
free!
In Him and through Him -- Christ
our Defender!
Praises all due Him, What mystery!
God in Christ dying As the offender!
His blood supplying Our pardon free.
Christ the great surety To those
believing;
He all the pur'ty God can demand
Righteousness given -- Conscience
relieving!
By blood forgiven, In Christ we
stand!
To Christ all blessing, Praise
without measure!
In Him we're resting, His peace made
known.
His all the labors -- Ours all the
pleasure!
God's gracious favors Through Christ
our own.
When there before Him -- Then, in
full glory --
We sing our new hymn, New praises
give;
'Twill be this old song, Of Christ
our glory;
Through ages told long: "In
Christ we live!"

Lost
Was I Text by Fred
G. Zaspel, Copyright 1995*
Sing to the tune of "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise"
Lost was I and helpless,
damnation deserved,
Yet in my proud mind, thought
'twould never be served.
No cares for my God, no concerns for
my pride,
My sin I would keep -- knew no
reason to hide!
But God, rich in mercy and grace
all divine,
Had chosen to save me, despite my
designs.
He said he would love me and make me
His son,
For reasons unknown -- explanations
I've none.
To save me He paid such an
infinite cost --
His dear Son from glory He sent to
my cross!
Laid all my sin on Him and punished
Him there,
For me, who for Him would not ever
have cared!
Then to me He came, and with
o'erwhelming grace
He drew me to Him Who had taken my
place.
I saw then in Him the great Savior
alone,
Went running to take Him and make
Him my own.
He took me, and oh, with what
gladness I find --
He loves me and leads me with
gentleness kind!
What mercy, what love, and what
grace oh, so free!
My God, unto Thee shall my praise
ever be!
