All That We Were

All that we were – our sins, our guilt, Our death – was all our own: All that we are we owe to Thee, Thou God of grace alone.
Thy mercy found us in our sins, And gave us to believe; Then, in believing, peace we found; And in Thy Christ we live.
All that we are, as saints on earth, All that we hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, We owe it all to Thee. — Horatius Bonar (1808–1889)

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? … But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God … You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. —1 Corinthians 6:9,11,20 NKJV
