Psalm 71; 1 Corinthians 1; Romans 3,5,6,8, & 10

Father, hallelujah, my mouth tells of your righteousness, and I revel in your salvation all the day.

You have taught me from my youth, and I always declare your wondrous work. Now as I am older and grey headed, you stay with me. You fill me with wisdom, righteousness, redemption, and sanctification so that I may declare your strength to this generation and tell of your power to all who come to listen.

I have sinned and fallen short of your glory, Father, but you have provided a righteousness for me apart from obeying the law. You have given me righteousness through faith in Jesus as your Messiah and my savior.

You showed me your love for me in that, even while I was lost in sin and self, Christ died for me. The wages for my sin was death, but you, Father, through Christ Jesus, as my Lord, gave me the gift of eternal life.

Now, because I am in Christ, there is no longer condemnation for me. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has sent me free from the law of sin and death.

Now I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I know you, Father, raised Christ Jesus from the dead, and so, I know I am saved.
