Because the Lord is gracious, He chooses to save all types of people throughout the earth, all who repent and believe in Christ. God is grafting Gentiles into the tree of salvation, of which ethnic Israel serves as the root.

LYRICS
There is no one who will be ashamed:
None who call upon the Lord’s name;
Yes, the Church is made up of every race:
Those to whom He has shown grace.
The grace of God is revealed to every man
Whom the Lord has called in his sovereign plan
To save His Church, His Love, His Bride,
And she will be saved, for Christ has died
For all races, skin colors, peoples, and nations,
For every type of man in every station
Of life, for this is the love of Christ,
To bring a remnant from darkness into light.
There is no one who will be ashamed:
None who call upon the Lord’s name;
Yes, the Church is made up of every race:
Those to whom He has shown grace.
But tell me, how will they hear and then believe
If no one is sent and no one will teach
Them the Word of faith?—Receiving grace
By confessing that Christ is Lord and believing
He is raised from the dead; saving the undeserving
Ones who, unswerving, would go on believing
And obeying by preaching the news of his fame.
How beautiful the feet that carry the name!
There is no one who will be ashamed:
None who call upon the Lord’s name;
Yes, the Church is made up of every race:
Those to whom He has shown grace.
So what of the Jews? Will the Lord then save them too?
Does His love still flow for His Jeshurun?
Yes.
For even though they pursued the Lord by works,
He will save a remnant and convert
Their hearts of stone to hearts of flesh
That pursue by faith His righteousness,
This elect of the Jews—chosen though they’re undeserving
Ones who were serving through Law, not observing
That the Law points to Christ, until the Lord unveiled their eyes
To see the sight of sin and that sacrifice alone can atone.
And so, in keeping with His plan,
He preserves the tree of Israel, and to it adds a branch:
Gentiles, though a wild olive shoot,
Have been grafted to the Jewish root, meant to brew the Jews
To jealousy, to see that He, the Lord, has brought this mystery
To come to light, so that we may realize
Favor is not given only in the Jewish land, but it spans the planet.
While God has hardened a portion of the Jews
Till the fullness of His pardon to the Greeks is concluded,
Still, in a way, we can say
That all of Israel will be saved.
So you see that the Lord has not failed
When He promised to save Israel,
And we can be sure that His promise to us
Will stand as well.
There is no one who will be ashamed:
None who call upon the Lord’s name;
Yes, the Church is made up of every race:
Those to whom He has shown grace.
