"Understanding shall keep thee: to deliver thee from the way of the evil man.... that thou mayest walk in the way of good men" (Proverbs 2:11,20). "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:22,23).
Thank the Lord for what He gives
And what He also takes:
For fruitfulness because He lives,
For freedom from mistakes.
Being now made free from sin,
No longer thus enslaved,
We have the power to begin
To live like people saved.
The wages that we all deserve
Are death and condemnation;
Instead we are made fit to serve,
Endowed with God's salvation!
We thank You for the gift, O Lord,
Of life eternally,
And for the freedom You afford
By truth that makes us free.
