So what on earth should we say?
Should we continue to sin?
Even though we disobey,
Getting corrupted within.
With God then would there be peace,
If we kept doing the same;
That His kindness would increase,
Although we did not proclaim.
That would be unthinkable,
As far as sin is concerned;
New life is not capable,
If we just had never learned.
We would have entered the tomb,
If we were truly baptized;
To be reborn from the womb,
From sin we are circumcised.
Through Christ baptized into death,
As Jesus Christ was brought back;
We were given a new breath,
For righteousness that we lack.
Through the glorious power,
Ironically through strife;
Just like the blooming flower,
Christ was given a new life.
If we have been united,
Experienced death with Him;
Then we would be invited,
To a place that is not grim.
We know that the one we need,
Happened to be crucified;
Unless we have sown the seed,
No life after we have died.
To sin no longer a slave,
Then that person is set free;
And be rescued from the grave,
Because of Christ on the tree.
