Echoes of Grace: 2012, John 5 and 24 (5:24)
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).
When I was lost and dead in sin
And judgment lay before,
God breathed a precious word to me:
John 5 and 24.
I trusted in His finished work;
What could I ask for more
Than His unchanging Word of truth?
John 5 and 24!
No condemnation NOW, my soul!
My fear of God is o’er;
That precious verse speaks peace to me —
John 5 and 24.
I KNOW eternal life IS mine
Since Christ my judgment bore;
My hope is founded on that verse,
John 5 and 24.
I soon shall see Him face to face,
And then I’ll praise Him more
For pardon through His faithful Word:
John 5 and 24!
