Poetry
The Cost of Grace
Grace that redeems for no cost
Cost my Lord His precious soul,
Bliss lost in life traded for death
Grace restored and Blood purchased.
But today prosperity of the flesh
That on this plane for a while be
Has the soul’s security in eternity
To the floor of confession hushed.
If for wealth the Word flesh became,
The rich young ruler the happiest;
Joy of gaining heaven so much
In carnal yoke of faith and flesh.
Up the Cross my Lord ascended
To condemn sin in His own flesh,
Sure no soul will with Him ascend,
To Heaven without to the Cross.
His hands so pierced and heels so bruised,
Blood and water from injured side,
All these to condemn man will stand,
Who in flesh indulged despite grace.
Before Glory no sin shall stand,
No excuse shall His judgement beat
For in Christ now is grace enough
To slay sin in the flesh and live.
Let us fly on the wings of grace
Out of city reserved for doom
And find repose in His bosom
Whose precious blood the worth of soul.
