Lyrics

VERSE 1
It's a heresy,
You get to heaven by being good,
For no one's good as a perfect God.
And it's a heresy,
That all religions are the same,
There's one God and He's called by one name.
We can't hide our sin; to God it is known,
Can't be justified by works of our own,
Can't be justified by words that we say,
Can only be saved by faith!

CHORUS
We're not saved by doing good deeds,
We're not saved by saying creeds,
We're not saved by singing praise,
Our salvation comes through faith!

VERSE 2
It's good news today,
When we were sinners and powerless,
Merciful God poured out forgiveness,
And it's good news today,
That of salvation we are sure,
For it was won by one who is pure!
Just as sin entered the world through one man,
Sin was defeated by God's gracious plan.
It was sufficient; there's nothing to add;
With Christ's blood it was finished!

CHORUS
We're not saved by doing good deeds,
We're not saved by saying creeds,
We're not saved by singing praise,
Our salvation comes through faith!

BREAKDOWN

CHORUS
We're not saved by doing good deeds,
We're not saved by saying creeds,
We're not saved by singing praise,
Our salvation comes through faith!
