Salvation Not Denied
No person throughout history has ever been denied
The grace extended everyone before their body died
No person has been given less than they needed to see
To give them opportunity to live eternally
Though not all have been given ear to hear the gospel plan
And maybe never even saw a chosen righteous man
They still have had in God's own way the Truth revealed to them
And had the burden on their heart to give their all to Him
For all have ways of choosing between darkness and the light
All have in every culture principles of wrong and right
Maybe not in the way we do who know the gospel plan
But in a way to help them see the value placed in man
That God had placed before He made the earth for what it was
Unlike the man who chooses not to do the thing he does
If he thinks there'll be failure when he's planning for success
As I too would be hesitant to do I must confess
But God knew we would leave Him long before He framed this place
And knew what would be asked of Him to save this world by grace
And willingly pursued it, this great plan to make us all
Though in His mind He saw the outcome of our hopeless fall
Should we be left to suffer and to work out on our own
The future without Jesus and what He gave to atone
For every sin and failure every liability
That we could never rectify through all eternity
Without the blood He shed for us the sacrifice He made
The ever endless cost of life for each of us He paid
When nailed upon the wooden cross He died for you and me
And will bear every scar received for all eternity
That those who have not met Him who've not heard about His name
Might just by giving heart to good not have to bear the blame
For things they did in ignorance not knowing of God's Way
And still receive that blessed gift on Resurrection Day
For that same grace that takes us when we give our all to Him
Will also take most gladly those who have His heart in them
The difference is they'll learn from scratch what they've not known before
And cherish what we've always known in Him we'll all adore
James 4:10-17
