Glory In The Cross Of The Lord Jesus Christ - Galatians 6: 12-16
Are you none that glories in the flesh?
who thinks this will bring you salvation
so fear not persecution for Christ's cross
but believe in Christ alone for justification
Give no time to circumcision or the like
nothing will save you except Christ alone
for true circumcision is of the heart
where Christ can dwell your chief cornerstone
Confess the truth found in Holy Scripture
preached by the disciples and apostle Paul
justified by grace alone in Christ alone
glory alone in Christ's cross and don't stall
Be in Christ Jesus a new creation
never be afraid of the cross's offence
stand firm for your blessed Jesus
knowing He is a sure defence
The lesson learned here is true
don't be offensive to those you speak
but take up the cross of this Christ
who died for your sins make you anew
(Galatians 6: 12-16)
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
