The Comforting Cross

I alighted at the feet of the Cross
and laid down my luggage of loss.
Sin used to sting my peace within:
God has given the wisdom to war and win.

The pleasure of sin held me down;
the pain of its wages made me frown.
God saved me, and now I am whole;
Great is the God who saved my soul.
