Happy Reformation Day-A Hymn for You to Celebrate With

My wonderful husband has written a hymn. He finished writing the lyrics this morning. So his hymn was written on Reformation Day. (not planned, but cool none the less) Without further ado I present it to you:

SALVATION IS FROM THE LORD
Lyrics by: Mark Gilliland

Eternal, infinite Father of lights
No one can withstand Your power and might
The heavens declare Your glory O Lord
Unchanging Sovereign forevermore

O Holy Father, separate from sin
Your ways are higher than mere mortal men
Justice and righteousness flow from Your throne
Praise Your great name You are worthy alone!

If You counted our sins, no one could stand
We’ve nothing to offer, just empty hands
Our hearts are deceitful, filthy within
No way to approach you, dead in our sins

Yet God sent His Son, in love to the earth
Holy and righteous, of infinite worth
Tempted in all ways, He was without sin
A Man of sorrows, esteemed not by men

For joy set before Him, endured the cross
He cried “It is finished”, paid the full cost
The Father was pleased to crush His dear Son
Then three days later, the vict’ry was won!

Seated in heaven, no slumber or sleep
Sent down the Spirit, to find His dear sheep
Gave them repentance, supplied them with faith
Praise His great name for that wonderful grace!

Forever in heaven, saints will fall down
Praising His holy name, casting their crowns
The Lamb eternally will be adored
For this great salvation is from the Lord!
