“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9.
“SHALT CONFESS.”
Who confesses Christ the Lord?
They who know His precious Word,—
They who life in Him possess
These alone, His name confess.
“SHALT BELIEVE.”
O the joy of knowing this—
Christ the only source of bliss!
Not what I can “do” or “give,”
Life is in the word “believe.”
“SHALT BE, SAVED.”
Precious link! the last of three,
Forged for all eternity:
Every link with mercy laved—
“Shalt confess,” “believe,” “be saved!”
