"Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor
and glory which God bestows and receives, all are justified
and made upright and in right standing with God, freely
and gratuitously by His grace, (His unmerited favor and
mercy) through the redemption which is
provided in Christ Jesus."
(Romans 3:23-24)
The Amplified Bible
Someday the silver cord will break
And I no more as now shall sing;
But, oh, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King!
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story-Saved by grace.
Someday my earthly house will fall;
I cannot tell how soon 'twill be;
But this I know-my All in All
Has now a place in heav'n for me.
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story-Saved by grace.
Someday, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy tinted west,
My blessed Lord will say, "Well done!"
And I shall enter into rest.
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story-Saved by grace.
Someday: till then I'll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Savior opes the gate,
My soul to Him may take its flight.
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story-Saved by grace.
