Morality and Me

Here is the lyrics to a Shane and Shane song that really just reminds me of the ignorant lifestyle that the Lord saved me from. Growing up in the church made me assume that I was saved when I was just following a set of morals that gave me a false sense of comfort and a false sense of salvation. The verses in this song just reminded me how God delivered me from that mindset of legalism and brought me into the light of His marvelous grace. Thank God we weren't left alone to try to earn a good standing because on our own we wouldn't be able reach it.

God Did (Emphasis mine)

Growin’ up I overheard
All the grown ups sayin’
You better be prayin’
And sayin’
All the right little things
At the right little times
And I had it down
At least on the outside
I’d put my best side forward
I could smile with the best
And dress like the rest
Of the messed up church folk singin’ a song

Are you sitting down
With all your sin and shame all stored up
Are you ready to live
For what the law could not do
God did

Could it be that morality
Got the best of you and me
Got us thinking
That we’re on the brink
Of a drink of the cup that’s all filled up
With the cross havin’ even a little to do with us
It was His day
It was His way
To the glory of His grace
Took our disease
Enough to please
The Father of lights
To bruise Jesus

Maybe do’s and don’ts
Were made to show
How much we do
And don’t ever make it

Resting in Grace,

Micah
