The Sure Words of Scripture

I love the words of Scripture
Which tell us of God’s love
And lead to salvation’s cure,
God’s gift sent from above.

Just as we’re born of water,
We must be born again,
By the Spirit, of the Father,
Sealed unto the end.

Whosoever believeth
Christ’s love doth comprehend,
Eternal life receiveth,
By God’s called son and friend.

There’s “now no condemnation,”
No judgment on our soul.
For Christ’s our consolation,
Redemption from sin’s toll.

With care God clearly shows us,
With terms both true and pure,
The life that Christ doth give us,
Forever shall endure.

Our hope is “sure and stedfast,”
“an anchor of the soul,”
Confirmed by One whose oaths last,
God, who preserves us whole.
