There is no question that sin is dangerous. There is no question that it produces no good. There is no question that it seduces everyone. There is no question of its power to deceive. There’s no question that I am a victim. There is no question that I was born in its fold. There is no question that I have no power to escape it. There is no question that I can’t free myself from its hold. There is no question that I’ve chosen what is foolish. There is no question that I have loved what is wrong. There is no question that I’ve transgressed your boundaries. There is no question that my trespass has been bold. There is no question that I deserve your judgment. There is no question that I have no righteousness to hold.
So there is no question that there is any hope outside your mercy. There’s no question that I have any place but your grace. There is no question that your sacrifice is needed. There is no question that you hung in my place. There is no question that I have nothing to be proud of. There is no question that I should boast in your cross. There is no question that you were the lamb that was promised. There is no question that I am covered by your blood. There is no question that I will rest in your promise. There is no question that you’re blessed me with peace. There is no question that you will defeat what is in me. There is no question that I will finish my journey. There’s no question that someday I will be free.
