The Law, a weight so heavy and so true
Can neither save a sinner, nor make one new
It brings to light our wickedness and sin
But cannot bring justification, within
It's not the law that makes us clean and bright
But only Christ, who suffered in the night
He met the demands of the law with His death
And brought us to God, with every breath
We are not bound by laws, but by God's grace
Free from the yoke of bondage, that's our place
We seek to please the Lord, not out of fear
But love for Him, that brings us ever near
He is our wisdom, righteousness, and peace
Our sanctification, redemption, and release
The love of Christ constrains us, day by day
To honor Him, in all that we say and pray
We're not bondmen under laws, but sons of grace
With love for God, our motivation and base
We seek to obey, not for reward or threat
But to please the Lord, with every step we take and breath.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
