COVENANT
Jesus took our SINSThat we might become SONS!
When you were dead in your sins…God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our
sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the
Cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing over them by the cross. ʼ

In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight, And stopp'd my wild career: I saw One hanging on a Tree
In agonies and blood, Who fix'd His languid eyes on me.
As near His Cross I stood.
Sure never till my latest breath, Can I forget that look:
It seem'd to charge me with His death, Though not a word He spoke:
My conscience felt and own'd the guilt, And plunged me in despair:
I saw my sins His Blood had spilt, And help'd to nail Him there.
Alas! I knew not what I did! But now my tears are vain:
Where shall my trembling soul be hid? For I the Lord have slain!
A second look He gave, which said, "I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live."
Thus, while His death my sin displays In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too.
With pleasing grief, and mournful joy, My spirit now if fill'd,
That I should such a life destroy, Yet live by Him I kill'd!
