The Inspired, Infallible...song lyrics

Recently I heard a woman who had called in to a Christian radio station I like to listen to and as she was talking to the DJ, she broke down and expressed her despair and guilt concerning her life before Christ. She was still struggling as a newborn believer to truly accept the fact of God's forgiveness.

To encourage her, the thoughtful and sensitive DJ quoted for this young lady the precious, inspired words of . . . a song. If I had been sitting in a chair and not my car, I would have fallen out of it.

So, the woman battling doubt and needing assurance came away with a melodic platitude and temporarily better attitude, but how long will that last? What she needed was a promise. What she needed was something truly wonderful and divinely inspired like: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" or "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Wouldn't that have been much, much better?
