Ephesians 2:1,4-5,8-9 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
[5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
God is rich in infinite mercy. He has what man needs.
The only requirement is that you believe Him.
Heaven Came Down

O what a wonderful, wonderful day — Day I will never forget; — After I'd wandered in darkness away, — Jesus my Saviour I met. — O what a tender, compassionate friend, — He met the need of my heart; — Shadows dispelling, With joy I am telling, — He made all the darkness depart.
CHORUS:
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, — When at the cross the Saviour made me whole; — My sins were washed away, — And my night was turned to day. — Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
Born of the Spirit with life from above — Into God's fam'ly divine, — Justified fully thru Calvary's love, — O what a standing is mine! — And the transaction so quickly was made — When as a sinner I came, — Took of the offer of grace He did proffer, — He saved me, O praise His dear name!
Now I've a hope that will surely endure — After the passing of time; — I have a future in heaven for sure, — There in those mansions sublime. — And it's because of that wonderful day — When at the cross I believed; — Riches eternal and blessings supernal — From His precious hand I received.
