🌲 Chapter Anchor
We were not spiritually weak. We were spiritually dead.
But God.
📖 What Happens in This Chapter
Jesus does not improve the dead — He resurrects them. His blood brings peace. His cross creates one new people. He is the cornerstone of a living temple.
🌾 Why This Matters Today
You don’t earn resurrection. You receive it. And grace doesn’t produce laziness — it produces purpose.
Ephesians 2 — From Death to Life
📖 Song Lyrics
We once walked in the shadowed air,
Following currents of despair.
Dead in sin, in trespass bound,
No breath of heaven in us found.
We chased the voice of flesh and pride,
Let disobedience be our guide.
By nature children of the fall,
Separated, lost to all.
Pre-Chorus
But mercy saw us in the grave —
And love refused to leave us slaves.
Chorus
But God, rich in mercy,
Because of His love,
When we were still lifeless,
He lifted us up.
By grace we are saved —
Not earned, not deserved.
Raised up with Christ,
By promise preserved.
Even when we could not rise,
He breathed new life into our eyes.
Seated us in heavenly place,
Wrapped in undeserved grace.
For it is by grace through faith we stand,
Not by our work or righteous hand.
No boast in flesh, no pride to claim —
Salvation flows from Jesus’ name.
Verse
We are His workmanship divine,
A living proof of grand design.
Created new in Christ to walk
In works He planned before our talk.
Remember once we stood afar —
No covenant hope, no guiding star.
Strangers to the promise flame,
Outside the blessing of His name.
But now in Christ, through His own blood,
Peace has come like holy flood.
He broke the wall that stood between,
Made hostile hearts completely clean.
Bridge
One new humanity He formed,
Through cross where judgment’s storm was borne.
Jew and Gentile reconciled,
Through one Redeemer, undefiled.
Access now through Spirit’s call,
One Father over one and all.
No longer strangers, cast aside —
But fellow citizens inside.
Built on prophets, built on grace,
Christ the cornerstone in place.
Growing into temple bright,
Dwelling place of holy light.
Final Chorus
From death to life, from far to near,
From orphaned heart to child held dear.
By grace alone, through faith we live —
And all the glory Christ we give.
