Story Behind the Song
The youth leader at Quidnessett Baptist Church in North Kingstown, RI asked if I would write a song based on scriptures in Romans from the Bible...so this is what I came up with. Enjoy!
Lyrics
ROMANS ROAD
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. For the wages of sin is death. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners Christ died for us.You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height or depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
