Whose Righteousness is it Anyway?
As we are ushered into the throne room of our Lord,
can we amidst the glory utter an “I”?
Or can we but in humility offer a “He”;
knowing the source of all righteousness.For it is “He” alone that ran the race,
“He” alone set the Path of Righteousness,
And “He” alone finished the course.But “He” alone that won the prize,
has been chosen to bestow its riches
on all who will enter the race.For is it not righteousness that God sends
to rain upon the dry ground?
And is it not the rain that revives the saints,
from which springs forth salvation?
God gives the rain, the increase in righteousness.
Whose Righteousness is it Anyway?
