"For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26).
What shall it profit a man if he gain
All of the riches contained in the earth,
And yet lose his soul? Can someone explain
What is his fleeting prosperity worth?
Or what shall a man exchange for his soul?
That is to say, what will keep him from Christ?
Sin is demanding its payment in full.
How often the soul is thus cheaply priced!
The soul had its value displayed on the cross
When Jesus Christ suffered and died in our place.
In view of redemption, how great is the loss
When even one soul has neglected God's grace!
