Made Righteous by Grace

God judges us through Jesus to be clean,
Made righteous and like Him upon the earth.
Though in some minds our faults may still be seen,
Our Savior views us to be of great worth.
At times judged wrong by some who pass you by,
Put down behind your back by some at church,
How can they pick the speck out from your eye
When theirs have beams for which they need not search?
It’s true we are the apple of His eye,
The joy before our Savior at the cross.
While needlessly for prominence some vie,
Within God’s Kingdom silver has no dross.
It’s pointless trying to fit in with pride
As Jesus rose with our sins put aside.
