"All that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4). "I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin… Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation" (Psalm 38:18,22). "Whoso findeth Me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Me love death" (Proverbs 8:35,36). "Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows" (Isaiah 53:4). "They crucified Him… He saved others; Himself He cannot save" (Matthew 27:35,42).
We have no
ransom for our life
(Though all we
have we would surrender),
Apart from
Christ who fought our strife
And died to be
our soul's Defender.
Though we would
heartily declare
That we are sorry
for our sin,
There's no sufficient
refuge there
Unless our
Savior enters in.
Behold the
sorrows that He bore
To spare us from
eternal loss,
As prophets
testified before
That Christ
would bear them on the cross!
O Lord, by Your
sufficiency
We have obtained
salvation's favor,
For all of our
iniquity
Was purged when
You became our Savior!
