CM

What's a cov'nant? An agreement
Made by two or by more.
By cov'nant of grace what is meant?
It's one made long before.

It's an eternal agreement
Within the Trinity
To save certain persons, elect,
Now and eternally.

To do what did Christ undertake
In the cov'nant of grace?
All the law to keep for men's sake
And suffer in their place.

Did Christ ever sin to his shame?
No, as man and as child,
Our Lord was holy, without blame,
He remained undefiled.

At 58

It's getting late
I'm fifty eight
So soon will come the day
Death's on the way
Don't hesitate
Work hard and always pray.
