When I was lost and dead in sin
And judgment lay before,
God breathed a precious word to me:
John 5 and 24.
I trusted in His finished work;
What could I ask for more
Than His unchanging Word of truth?
John 5 and 24!
No condemnation now, my soul!
My fear of God is o’er;
That precious verse speaks peace to me—
John 5 and 24.
I know eternal life is mine
Since Christ my judgment bore;
My hope is founded on that verse:
John 5 and 24.
I soon shall see Him face to face,
And then I’ll praise Him more
For pardon through His faithful Word:
John 5 and 24!
