God’s Eternal Warranty

We strive and sweat, we fall, we try,
We lift our heads and question why.
We chase approval, seek to earn,
But grace is something we can’t learn.

For all our works, they fall apart
They cannot mend the broken heart.
We wear ourselves out, day by day,
Hoping to earn what none can pay.

But God, in mercy rich and true,
Declared a warranty for you.
Not by deeds or proud decree,
But through His Son who sets us free.

Normal wear and tear won’t do,
The cracks must show, the soul break through.
He doesn’t fix what’s merely worn
He redeems the hearts that mourn.

When we are shattered, torn and tossed,
He meets us there beneath the cross.
It’s not our polish, but our plea
That activates His warranty.

So cease your striving, bend the knee
Let Jesus be your guarantee
For through the Lamb, God warrants you,
Made whole, made clean, and made anew.

Tit 3:5  he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 

For God’s Honor and Glory
