Alien Righteousness
Salvation's Symphony: Embracing Alien Righteousness
Lyrics
I tried to make it own
I attempted to establish my own identity or achieve something on my own.
Head filled with rocks, and a heart of stone
Feeling emotionally heavy and unfeeling, lacking compassion.
And insufficient efforts
My efforts were not sufficient.
And all my mistakes just hurt
All the mistakes I made caused pain.
I heard a voice from heaven say
I heard a divine voice saying something significant.
By this we are saved
Salvation is achieved through a specific process or means.
By this we are saved
-By this we are saved
-By an alien righteousness
Salvation comes through a righteousness that is foreign or alien.
Now Christ has done the work himself
Christ completed the necessary work for salvation.
Made right with God by no one else
Righteousness with God is solely achieved through Christ.
All my mistakes are gone now
All my mistakes have been forgiven and erased.
He's reconciled me somehow
I have been reconciled in some mysterious way.
I look towards heaven and I say
Looking towards heaven, expressing gratitude or acknowledgment.
By this we are saved
Reiteration of the process or means of salvation.
By this we are saved
-By this we are saved
-By an alien righteousness
Emphasizing salvation through a righteousness that is foreign or alien.
Jesus blood is alien to me
Symbolic reference to Jesus' blood as something alien or unique.
My hope is built on nothing less
Expressing unwavering hope in something beyond ordinary foundations.
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
Foundation of hope is in Jesus' blood and righteousness.
Dressed in his perfect righteousness alone
Being adorned or covered with Christ's perfect righteousness alone.
By this we are saved
Repetition of the salvation process through a specific means.
By this we are saved
-By this we are saved
-By an alien righteousness
Restating the idea of salvation through a righteousness that is foreign or alien.
In the righteousness of Christ
Being in the righteousness of Christ is affirmed.
