“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”

2 Corinthians 9:15

SALVATION IS OF THE LORD
Words by: Jon F. Caudle, Jr.
Sung to the tune of “Onward Christian Soldiers”

In the garden Eden,
In days long gone by.
Adam disobeyed God,
For this sin he died.
Scripture states expressly,
Through this one man’s fall.
Death and codemnation,
Came and reigned in all.
Dead in our trespasses,
Rebels bent to sin.
There is not one righteous,
None who seeks for Him.

God in sovereign mercy,
Ere time had begun.
Saw our helpless plight and
Graciously chose some!
Not for good within us,
That did not exist.
Not for faith to choose Him,
That, too, is His gift.
Simply His good pleasure,
We cannot explain,
We can only worship,
Glorify His name!

Later in time’s fulness,
God sent forth His Son!
For His sheep He died and
Pledged not to lose one.
For His church He suffered,
That she might be clean.
For His people He shall
Save from all their sin.
On the cross He cried out
“It is now complete!”
Definite atonement
There He made for me.

Now as gospel preaching
Outwardly calls men,
By this means, God calls
Effectually within.
By His will and spirit
Quickens us from death,
Opens hearts, imparting
Faith to His elect.
What we were unable,
Dead in sin, to do,
Through regeneration
God makes to come true!

On this sure foundation,
We can stand secure,
His presevering grace
Empowers to endure.
As His seed in us,
We depart from sin,
His seal upon us,
We are marked for Him!
Therefore, it is written,
In His Holy Word,
“Let the one who boasts, boast
Only in the Lord.”

Totally unable,
In depravity,
Yet before creation
Chosen sovereignly!
Definite atonement
Made on Calvary,
Now by gospel preaching
Called effectually.
By preserving grace,
The mark we press toward,
True it is, that salvation
is of the Lord!
