A New Covenant
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
The days are drawing near,
For a new covenant;
Men and women will fear,
Not being penitent.
Not like the one of old,
The one that they did break;
A new one that is bold,
That God will not forsake.
God makes after those days,
Puts His Law within them;
Someone who disobeys,
Surely He will condemn.
For He will be your God,
You shall be His people;
And to honor and laud,
To praise in His temple.
For they shall know the Lord,
And they shall know Him too;
No longer shall be ignored,
The just one that is true.
He will forgive your sin,
Remember it no more;
Confession will begin,
A new life as to soar.
