Do not be hearers only, swift to forget,
But doers of the word implanted deep within;
For in the gospel’s glass your true face is set—
A new creation, cleansed from every sin.

The old law bound with chains of condemnation,
Exposed the flaw but offered no release;
Yet Christ has fulfilled it—perfect liberation—
The law of liberty, granting perfect peace.

Look long into this mirror, see who you are:
Righteous in Him, beloved, fully known;
Not striving now to earn the Father’s star,
But resting in the grace that He has shown.

If you forget and walk as slaves once more,
Deceived by shadows of the former night,
But persevering, acting from His store,
You find the blessing—freedom’s pure delight.

No threat of failure haunts the child of God,
No pressure weighs upon the ransomed soul;
The doing flows from what the cross has bought—
Alive in Christ, made perfect, free, and whole.

So gaze and remember, let the truth abide,
Live from the glory already given thee;
In every step, His Spirit is your guide—
Blessed in the doing, for you’re His eternally.
