Poetry

---

In the endeavor as we seek,
For to be justified by Christ;
Found to be sinners being weak,
Because this place made us enticed.

Christ is not a servant of sin,
If I rebuild what I destroyed;
Then I’m a transgressor within,
I died to the Law that deployed.

Deployed that I might live in God,
With Christ I was crucified;
Christ who lives in me that I laud,
The life I live is satisfied.

I live by faith in God the Son,
Who loved me to give up His life;
Looking at all that He has done,
As well as enduring the strife.

I do not nullify the grace,
If righteousness were through the Law;
How could I ever leave this place,
His death would not erase my flaw.
