A Blessing to Live as God’s Righteousness

Receive the promise

Of the Lord

Through His prophet Jeremiah:

“’Behold, the days are coming,’

Declares the Lord,

‘When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch,

And he shall reign as king

And deal wisely, and shall execute justice

And righteousness in the land. In his days …

And this is the name

By which he will be called:

“The Lord is our righteousness.”’” (Jeremiah 23:5–6, ESV)

You are more than forgiven,

Child of God,

You are the righteousness

Of God in Jesus Christ!

Call Him Who He is!

“The Lord is our righteousness.”

Call yourself who you are!

You are the righteousness

Of God in Jesus Christ.

All your sin became His to deal with.

All His righteousness became yours

To live with!

A new King has come.

He is righteous and

All who know and love Him

Share His own righteousness.

I bless you to revel in

Who you really are—

The righteousness of God

In Christ Jesus.
