Poetry

---

What shall we say to these things,
If the Lord is for us;
Because of what He brings,
Who is against as thus.

He did not spare His Son,
But gave Him up for all;
And had graciously done,
Since Adam took a fall.

Who shall bring any charge,
Against the Lord’s elect;
God justifies at large,
The people to select.

Who are we to condemn,
Christ is the One who died;
When we cause much mayhem,
As we cheated and lied.

For Jesus had been raised,
Siting at God’s right hand;
As the chosen have praised,
Helps those who would withstand.

Who shall block us from love,
The love from Jesus Christ;
That flows down from above,
Detours that had enticed.

What shall tribulation,
Distress or a famine;
Causes persecution,
That we must examine.

For your sake we are killed,
Like sheep being slaughtered;
For faith we must rebuild,
Or it will be tottered.

More than just conquerors,
Through Him who has loved us;
As we are gatherers,
Preaching the Word as thus.

For neither death nor life,
Nor all of creation,
That love does not cause strife,
Rather gives salvation.
