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.
