Poetry

---

So what could I ever say?
Should we continue to sin?
Since we always disobey,
And we have no discipline.

I could never think like that,
And still have the confidence;
Just getting lazy and fat,
Under sinful influence.

I do not know all of you,
If you were baptized or not;
And if faith is really true,
Or being shameful a lot.

All who were baptized in Christ,
Were baptized into His death;
So we had been sacrificed,
But then were given new breath .

We were placed into the tomb,
And then were brought back to life;
Through the spiritual womb,
To conquer the midst of strife.

By power of the Father,
A new kind of life we live;
Making Christ our Brother,
And all sins God does forgive.

If we become united,
And live within Jesus Christ;
Purity is invited,
To block from being enticed.

We know who we used to be,
And longer have restlessness;
And the Father will then see,
Us without the sinfulness.

For we are no longer slaves,
Here upon this sinful place;
Not prisoners to the graves,
Because Christ has shed His grace.
