Nor Silver nor Gold

 

Nor Silver nor Gold

There is no amount of money, silver or gold that can get us into heaven. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, it cannot save your soul. It matters not how good you are or the deeds you have done. It won’t earn your way into heaven. The death of Jesus, His blood shed for us is our only foundation that can make us whole and open the door to our salvation. Trust and believe in God, give yourself to Him in baptism and be obedient to Him. Build on your relationship with His son, Jesus. That is the way to the throne of God.

Lyrics by James M. Gray, arranged by Daniel B. Towner

“Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, nor riches of earth could have saved my poor soul; The blood of the cross is my only  foundation, the death of my Savior now maketh me whole.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, the guilt on my conscience too heavy had grown; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, the death of my Savior could only atone.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption the holy commandment forbade me draw near; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior removeth my fear.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, the way into heaven could not thus be bought; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, the death of my Savior redemption hath wrought.

I am redeemed but not with silver; I am bought but not with gold; Bought with a price the blood of Jesus. Precious price of love untold.”
