35. A NEW NAME IN GLORY

1. I was once a sinner, but I came

   Pardon to receive from my Lord:

   This was freely given, and I found

   That He always kept His word.

   Chorus:

   There’s a new name written down in glory,

   And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!

   And the white-robed angels sing the story

   “A sinner has come home.”

   For there’s a new name written down in glory,

   And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine

   With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven,

   Never more to roam.

2. I was humbly kneeling at the cross,

   Fearing naught but God’s angry frown;

   When the heavens opened and I saw

   That my name was written down.

3. In the Book ‘tis written, “Saved by Grace,”

   O the joy that came to my soul!

   Now I am forgiven, and I know

   By the blood I am made whole.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
