The Finished Work


 'Till to JESUS' work you cling
By a simple faith,
"Doing” is a deadly thing ―
"Doing" ends in death.
Cast your deadly "doing" down ―
Down at Jesus' feet;
Stand "in Him," in Him alone,
Gloriously "complete
 (Author Unknown)

 
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, 
while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us." 
Romans 5:8

I liked this simple little poem. Especially the thought about "Doing" being deadly when there is no faith in Jesus' finished work on the cross. Can you tell me who this poem was writen by? Thank you for posting it!
Love,
Sister in the Mid-west

I don't remember where I found this poem, so I'm not sure who the author was. If I find the author's name, I'll try and let you know!
