“But now, independently of the law, the righteousness of God is tangible and brought to light through Jesus, the Anointed One. This is the righteousness that the Scriptures prophesied would come. It is God’s righteousness made visible through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And now all who believe in him receive that gift. For there is really no difference between us, Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gift of love and favour now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!” “And when the season of tolerance came to an end, there was only one possible way for God to give away his righteousness and still be true to both his justice and his mercy—to offer up his own Son. So now, because we stand on the faithfulness of Jesus, God declares us righteous in his eyes!” Romans 3:21-22, 24, 26 TPT
Your Righteousness, Your Righteousness Cascading over, in and through us Your image in us restored through this gift Of Your Love and Favour, God Magnificent
You saw we were bound and damaged by our sin Powerless to change without true healing You gave us Your Law to reveal the mess we’re in But we thought we could obey it and missed the mark again
So You sent us Your Son, one with us in human flesh To reveal Your image, alive as one of us He loved, forgave and taught and healed as Your true Son But we failed to understand, let Him on a cross be hung
One with us, Jesus died, and sinful mankind died with Him As He took the punishment for all of mankind’s sin But Your Love and Righteousness were too powerful for death So as One, Your Holy Spirit raised us up again to life
Your Righteousness, Your Righteousness Cascading over, in and through us Your image in us restored through this gift Of Your Love and Favour, God Magnificent
Raised to new life with Christ, to reign at Your Right Hand We have become full Sons of God and His co-Heirs The faithfulness of Jesus You have gifted to us So we can be restored by Your Powerful Righteousness
Your Righteousness, Your Righteousness Cascading over, in and through us Your image in us restored through this gift Of Your Love and Favour, God Magnificent
Now as we rest in the faithfulness of Christ Your Righteousness becomes ours for life Empowering us to live as true Sons of God Healed, restored in Your Image, in Your Faithful Word
Your Righteousness, Your Righteousness Cascading over, in and through us Your image in us restored through this gift Of Your Love and Favour, God Magnificent
Beautiful! The Cascading Righteousness reminds myself and Mark of the brilliance we usually see in Belmore Basin around 3.30- 4pm when light shines through the buildings and hits the water as well as the reflected light from the large windows of the restaurant, bouncing back, lines up together and creates a brilliance hard to look at! It mesmerises Mark and I every time we see it.
