The Wages

(Verse 1) In this game of life, we all stumble and fall, Chasing after dreams, standing tall or feeling small, But in the shadows of our pride, we can't deny, That deep inside, there's a hunger we can't satisfy. We strive for perfection, yet we're flawed from the start, Hiding behind masks, trying to guard our heart, But in the mirror of truth, we see the scars, Of a life lived chasing after empty stars. (Chorus) For all have sinned, fallen short of the light, But there's a gift of grace shining through the night, In Christ Jesus, redemption's embrace, Bringing eternal life, by His saving grace. (Verse 2) The wages of sin, they lead to death's door, But God's gracious gift offers so much more, Through the blood of Christ, we find our way, Justified by His grace, we're made new today. He took our sin upon Himself, bore it all, So that in Him, we might stand tall, Made righteous in His sight, by His decree, So that through faith, we might truly see. (Chorus) For all have sinned, fallen short of the light, But there's a gift of grace shining through the night, In Christ Jesus, redemption's embrace, Bringing eternal life, by His saving grace. (Bridge) It's not by our own works, not by our own might, But by grace alone, we're brought into the light, A gift freely given, not earned or bought, So that in Him alone, our salvation's sought. (Outro) So let this truth sink deep, let it stir your soul, There's a Savior who loves you, who makes broken whole, For by grace, through faith, we're saved to the core, In Christ Jesus, our Lord, forevermore.
