Righteousness Provided Poem by Bob Gotti

Righteousness Provided



Covered by sin and its stain, a presence with God, I’d never attain,
On my own merit with its pride, by a Righteous God, I’d be denied,
Going to Him in my righteousness, I’d not enter His Heavenly Bliss,
If on our merit, God we pursue, Heaven’s not granted to me or you.

God has provided a way for all, everyone cursed from Adam’s fall,
All have fallen short of God’s mark, as every soul is spiritually dark,
Only the Righteousness of God, can save us from God’s Just Rod,
All are lost in the darkness of sin, in need of Redemption from Him.

A price for all sin had to be paid, and a way for all had to be made,
A price to appease God’s Wrath, putting sinners on a different path,
One Way provided for all of men, so that they could be Born Again,
To be spiritually born from on High, to live life eternally never to die.

It was God paying an eternal price, sending His Son as our sacrifice,
Sending God’s Only, Worthy Lamb, to be His ransom for every man,
In Him, God the Father was pleased, as God’s Anger was appeased,
As our Salvation was revealed, that by Christ’s stripes we are healed.

So, His Righteousness we receive, when by faith in Christ we believe,
Taking what was sent to each nation, the Gift of Christ, our Salvation.
Now from a death our sins deserve, to an eternal life God will reserve,
This life to all believers in Paradise, through Christ’s atoning sacrifice.
