A salvation that is real
A salvation that is true
I have that salvation
Tell me, do you?
A salvation that is free
It is eternal too
One can never earn it
Neither me, nor you
This salvation is a gift
It is God’s gift to man
It was given to him
Via the second Adam
The first Adam failed
But not the second Adam
And so to our account
His success is reckoned
It is imputed to us
On it we have no claim
It is so only because
Jesus was slain
Jesus died our death
So that we could live
There is nothing in exchange
That we can give
Our life was worthless
Until Jesus came in
It is only through him
We are freed from sin
Our sentence was death
Ever since Adam fell
And that meant death
In an eternal hell
But God sent forth
His only Son from above
His was an expression
Of the greatest love
We esteemed him not
He was stricken of men
We refused to believe
He was whom God did send
There on Golgotha’s hill
Jesus was crucified
In that “place of a skull”
Jesus suffered and died
He rose from the dead
As he said he would
And effected for us
What no other man could
It is by his spilt blood
We are saved from sin
It is for the “whosoever”
That believes in him
No shedding of blood
No remission of sin
Such great salvation
Only comes through him
He was our blood donor
Ours was not a match
This salvation is ours
With no price attached
Though invaluable it is
There is no cost to us
Such great salvation
Through the blood of Jesus
This is a fairy tale
Some may want to say
But a real hell awaits such
On that coming day
The only means of escape
Is in this great salvation
Any other way you choose
Spells eternal damnation
