and have gained a heaven by the cross.

Christ will not be sweet.

by the eye of faith, and faith,
as it weeps, stands beneath the cross.

may do for them.

hath done for me, that I may repent.

in the light of the Spirit,
wastes, weakens and withers
the body of sin.

you will be lifted up from your crookedness,
and made straight.
