# Question Answer
41 Can anyone be saved through the covenant of works? None can be saved through the covenant of works.
42 Why can none be saved through the covenant of works? Because all have broken it, and are condemned by it.

 

Can we be saved by the covenant of works,
The covenant of works, the covenant of works?
Can we be saved by the covenant of works,
And earn our way to heaven?

None can be saved by the covenant of works,
The covenant of works, the covenant of works?
None can be saved by the covenant of works,
That way is closed and barren!

Why must we fail by the covenant of works,
The covenant of works, the covenant of works?
Why must we fail by the covenant of works,
To make our way to heaven?

The Lord’s commands ev’ry human heart condemns
Each human heart condemns, each human heart condemns;
Yes, the Lord’s commands ev’ry human heart condemns
His precepts we have broken!
