A servant of the gospel, who | Ro 1:1 |
Was set apart for Christ, like you. | Ro 1:1,6 |
While serving sinners far from home | Ro 1:7 |
Wrote to the saints who live in Rome. | Ro 1:7 |
Have grace and peace to you from God. | Ro 1:7 |
Reports of your true faith are broad. | Ro 1:8 |
I long to see you, comfort each. | Ro 1:11-12 |
To wise and foolish both I preach. | Ro 1:14-15 |
The gospel is transformative. | Ro 1:16 |
By faith the righteous one shall live. | Ro 1:17 |
God's evidence is every place. | Ro 1:19-20 |
You'll get his wrath if not his grace. | Ro 1:18 |
Fools won't give thanks or glorify. | Ro 1:21 |
They've treated truth in for a lie. | Ro 1:25 |
To the Creator they won't sing. | Ro 1:25 |
They worship mere created things. | Ro 1:25 |
God let them go, pursue their lust, | Ro 1:26 |
Choose evil and be covetous. | Ro 1:29 |
They're filled with malice, greed and strife, | Ro 1:29 |
With words and deeds despairing life. | Ro 1:29-30 |
They're proud, they brag and cause offense. | Ro 1:30 |
They have no mercy, love, or sense. | Ro 1:31 |
And though they know such things aren't right, | Ro 1:32 |
With those who do them, they delight. | Ro 1:32 |
But woah, hold up, do not condemn. | Ro 2:1 |
You've done the wrong thing, just like them. | Ro 2:1 |
You're not the judge, leave that to God. | Ro 2:3 |
Toward reformation he does prod. | Ro 2:4 |
But when his day of wrath does come, | Ro 2:5 |
He'll give to each for what they've done. | Ro 2:6 |
Pursue the good and he will bless. | Ro 2:7,10 |
Choose evil, and get much distress. | Ro 2:8-9 |
Behavior will not get you in. | Ro 2:12 |
You know the law, yet still you sin. | Ro 2:21-22 |
When people see bad things you do | Ro 2:23 |
God's name is blasphemed 'cause of you. | Ro 2:24 |
God cares not how your look's arranged. | Ro 2:28 |
God praises those whose hearts are changed. | Ro 2:29 |
God's faithfulness 'cross time has stood. | Ro 3:3-4 |
Law makes us conscious, but not good. | Ro 3:20 |
For righteousness comes as a gift | Ro 3:21-22 |
From Christ who heals our fatal rift. | Ro 3:25-26 |
Because we're equal, none can boast. | Ro 3:27,29-30 |
Uphold the law with faith foremost. | Ro 3:28,31 |
What says the past, like Abe and Dave | Ro 4:1,6 |
About the righteousness God gave? | Ro 4:1 |
Was it from works, something they earned? | Ro 4:2 |
Nope. God forgave them, court adjourned. | Ro 4:3,7 |
So must you get an outward seal? | Ro 4:9 |
Again, your actions ain't the deal. | Ro 4:13 |
It's for his faith Abram was prized. | Ro 4:9 |
Made righteous first, then circumcised. | Ro 4:11 |
His offspring's not just those conceived. | Ro 4:16 |
He's father of all who believe. | Ro 4:16 |
What's impossible, yet God saith, | Ro 4:19 |
If you believe, well, that's faith. | Ro 4:20-22 |
Believe in Jesus, what God did, | Ro 4:24-25 |
As righteous you'll be credited. | Ro 4:24-25 |
At peace with God, we now can cope | Ro 5:1,3 |
With suffering which leads to hope. | Ro 5:3,4 |
Hope of God's glory from above | Ro 5:2 |
Because he filled our hearts with love. | Ro 5:5 |
Self-sacrifice for innocents - | Ro 5:7 |
Uncomommon, but there's precedents. | Ro 5:7 |
God's love, though, is unparalleled. | Ro 5:8 |
He gave his son as we rebelled. | Ro 5:8 |
Now reconciled, our sentence waived, | Ro 5:9-10 |
We boast in Him by whom we're saved. | Ro 5:10-11 |
Just as through Adam death has reigned, | Ro 5:12-19 |
Through Jesus, righteousnes is gained. | Ro 5:12-19 |
The Law reveals sin's lurking place. | Ro 5:20 |
In death, sin reigns. In life, it's grace. | Ro 5:21 |
More sin increases grace, it's true. | Ro 5:20 |
That doesn't mean it's good to do. | Ro 6:1-2 |
Through baptism you died to sin | Ro 6:3-4 |
So that a new life could begin. | Ro 6:4 |
A life for God, a life controlled | Ro 6:5-22 |
By righteousness, not by sin's hold. | Ro 6:5-22 |
Serve by the Spirit, free from Law, | Ro 7:1-6 |
Though at the flesh sin still may gnaw. | Ro 7:14-26 |
With God or flesh are you aligned? | Ro 8:5 |
The answer's where you set your mind. | Ro 8:6 |
The minds on flesh, sin's all they see. | Ro 8:5 |
Toward God in constant enmity. | Ro 8:7 |
The minds on Spirit, as God's heirs, | Ro 8:14-17 |
They care for what the Spirit cares. | Ro 8:6 |
Creation all longs to be healed. | Ro 8:20-22 |
Through us God's glory is revealed. | Ro 8:18-19 |
We crave redemption in our bones. | Ro 8:23 |
The Spirit intercedes with groans. | Ro 8:26 |
Predestines, called, and justified. | Ro 8:30 |
In Jesus' likeness, glorified. | Ro 8:29-30 |
If God is for us, who's against? | Ro 8:31 |
He gave his Son and grace dispensed. | Ro 8:32 |
God's love stays with us, that's for sure, | Ro 8:35-39 |
And through it makes us conquerers. | Ro 8:37 |
By works or birth you cannot tell. | Ro 9:11-12 |
God's promise makes you Israel. | Ro 9:6-8 |
He says he'll have compassion on | Ro 9:15 |
Those whom he'll have compassion on. | Ro 9:15 |
If God decides to use a man | Ro 9:17 |
To show his power, well, he can. | Ro 9:17 |
And if you say, "hey that's not fair", | Ro 9:19 |
You question God? How do you dare? | Ro 9:20 |
For he's the potter, we're the clay. | Ro 9:21 |
He might make vessels to display | Ro 9:22 |
His power to make his glory known | Ro 9:22-23 |
To vessels he made for his own. | Ro 9:23 |
He makes those fall who think they could | Ro 9:30-33 |
Just work their way to being good. | Ro 9:32 |
The path is Christ, that stumbling stone. | Ro 9:30-33 |
You cannot get there on your own. | Ro 9:31 |
For none knows God who won't confess | Ro 10:3 |
That Jesus IS God's righteousness. | Ro 10:4 |
Who calls on his name will be saved. | Ro 10:9 |
His message on our hearts engraved. | Ro 10:8 |
Some hear the good news but reject. | Ro 10:16 |
Hearts hardened unlike the elect. | Ro 11:7 |
So did they stumble beyond hope? | Ro 11:11 |
The God of promises says, "Nope". | Ro 11:11 |
The covenant, like olive tree, | Ro 11:16-17 |
Can graft into the family | Ro 11:17 |
The whole among the human race | Ro 11:17 |
God chooses by his own good grace. | Ro 11:5 |
And those cut off can gain relief | Ro 11:23 |
When they reject their unbelief. | Ro 11:23 |
Don't be conceited, you got in, | Ro 11:20,25 |
But not by works avoiding sin. | Ro 11:20-22 |
In disobedience we fall | Ro 11:32 |
And God has mercy on us all. | Ro 11:32 |
The depths of God man has not known. | Ro 11:33 |
He takes no counsel but his own. | Ro 11:34 |
To truly worship, Paul's advice | Ro 12:1 |
Is be a living sacrifice. | Ro 12:1 |
Do not abide by this world's norm. | Ro 12:2 |
To know God's will, your mind transform. | Ro 12:2 |
As different parts, in Christ we dwell. | Ro 12:4-5 |
Just play your part, and play it well. | Ro 12:3-8 |
Abhor the evil. Hold the good. | Ro 12:9 |
Be kind amongst the brotherhood. | Ro 12:10 |
See others honored before you. | Ro 12:10 |
Serve God with zeal and fervor too. | Ro 12:11 |
In hope, rejoice. In trials, endure. | Ro 12:12 |
That you pray faithfully, ensure. | Ro 12:12 |
Then share with others what they lack. | Ro 12:13 |
When someone hurts you, don't hurt back. | Ro 12:14 |
Now share in sadness, share in joy. | Ro 12:15 |
Be equals with the hoi polloi. | Ro 12:16 |
Don't be conceited. Live at peace. | Ro 12:16,18 |
If vengeance has your hold, release. | Ro 12:19 |
Though evil fights you, don't succumb. | Ro 12:21 |
By goodness, evil's overcome. | Ro 12:21 |
The Lord established government. | Ro 13:1 |
To its authority, relent. | Ro 13:1-7 |
Now love your neighbor, do not yaw. | Ro 13:8-10 |
Love is fulfillment of the Law. | Ro 13:10 |
Awake! Don't live as if it's night. | Ro 13:11-13 |
Put on the armor of the light. | Ro 13:12 |
Don't let your mind be flesh-enticed | Ro 13:13-14 |
But clothe yourself with Jesus Christ. | Ro 13:14 |
Accept the one whose faith is weak. | Ro 14:1 |
God's servant you shall not critique. | Ro 14:4 |
While some are shoeless, some are shod, | Ro 14:5-8 |
And both can walk their walk with God. | Ro 14:6-8 |
Don't cause your brother's stumblings. | Ro 14:13 |
Don't argue over minor things. | Ro 14:19 |
Bear with the failings of the weak. | Ro 15:1 |
It's not your own pleasure you seek. | Ro 15:1 |
Build up your neighbor for his good. | Ro 15:2 |
Praise God together as you should. | Ro 15:5-6 |
Accept each other, when you do, | Ro 15:7 |
That's like how Christ accepted you. | Ro 15:7 |
In service Jesus spent his days | Ro 15:8 |
That all the world would give God praise. | Ro 15:8-9 |
And in like manner, Paul was spurred | Ro 15:15-16 |
To preach to those who had not heard. | Ro 15:16-21 |
Then as his work was near its end | Ro 15:22-24 |
He greeted many saints and friends. | Ro 16:1-16 |
Watch out for those who would cause fights | Ro 16:17 |
While serving their own appetites. | Ro 16:18 |
Through Jesus and the news sublime, | Ro 16:25-27 |
To God be glory all the time. | Ro 16:27 |
