The Old, Old Story

The old, old story is about the atonement of Jesus Christ on Calvary's cross--His substitute for sinners. Only those who believe on Him qualify to stand before God the Father in the righteousness of His son--only those whose sins are covered by His blood.

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

The atonement of Christ is actually simple if you take it the way God gave it to us, but some people try to complicate it by adding works.

Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I love to tell the story, 'tis pleasant to repeat

What seems each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet

I love to tell the story, for some have never heard

The message of salvation from God's own holy word
