NOT FAULTLESS BUT BLAMELESS


NOT FAULTLESS BUT BLAMELESS (THE LOVE STORY)

'This is my judgement!'
'You are hereby discharged and accquited'

I sank down to my knees, grateful for my fees have been paid.
I turned to steal a look at the man who so vigorously defended my case.
He was right there behind me, smiling.
He said unto me, 'Go and sin no more.'

I said unto Him, 'Sir, how can you still defend me, knowing fully well that I am at fault?'
'Dear', He said, 'I know you have sinned a lot, done the things you shouldn't but still can't give up on you.'
'I know you are at fault but I took the blame for you.'
'I know you are NOT FAULTLESS but now you have been made BLAMELESS.'
'Lucky me', I muttered under my breath.
'This is love, not luck', He responded.

Love! 
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man would lay down his life for his friends.
He loved me, came and took those awful stripes for me.
As each landed on Him, my sicknesses fled my body.
And now I can boldly say, "By His stripes I am healed".
This is it.....The Love Story

Love!
The shame He took for my sake.
He was mocked, spat upon and despised.
This, He did, to secure for me eternal glory.
And now, I am seated with Him in the heavenlies, clothed with glory and honour.
This is it..... The Love Story.

Love!
On the cross He was nailed.
This, He did, to take away my curse.
For it is written, "Cursed is any man that hangs upon a tree"
As the nails ran through Him, my curses could do nothing but run.
And now, through Him, I have received the blessings of Abraham.
This is it.....The Love Story.

Love!
Yes, He died, went to hell, overcame death and rose again.
This, He did, to give me the life I never had, the Life of God.
And now I can boldly declare, " I've got Zoe, the God kind of Life".
This is it.....The Love Story.

Love!
He went before the Father, my case, to plead.
Justified, He made me and blameless, He declared me.
He told the devil, from me, to back off.
For now, I am His beloved.
And now, the Father I can approach, dressed in the righteousness of Jesus.
And, by the devil, I can no longer be held ransom.
ForChrist did it all, paid it all.
This is it.....The greatest Love Story in time.

Love!
The beautiful thing is His love is towards all.
He's not a racist, isn't bothered if you're black or white, brown or yellow.
He isn't worried if you're tall or short, slim or plump.
He's got eyes for just one thing, Love.
His love is universal, yet personal.
Universal for He loves the whole of mankind.
Personal for He loves you just as you are.
If I were you, I will come bi mo se wa.
I mean I will come just the way I am and accept His love.
It isn't late until it is too late.
Now is the time, the hour of salvation.
It is time for you to feature in the Love Story.

Remain blessed.
