Blameless

It’s a bold blessing to give you,
A bold claim to believe:

You’re blameless
In Christ.

Don’t blame me for such boldness,
Blame Paul, who wrote:

“He chose [you] in him before the
Foundation of the world,
That [you] should be
Holy and blameless before Him.” (Eph. 1:4)

The blame game started
In the beginning
With the first bite:

“The woman whom you gave to be with me,
She gave me fruit of the tree….”

She did it.
You did it.
The serpent did it.

Despite all the sin,
God isn’t chomping at the bit
To blame someone.
He’s bleeding at the side
To forgive someone.

So, if Christ took all the blame
For you,
The blame game is over.
