Weight Meets Exchange

The crushing weight lifts not by willpower but by exchange: His life for ours. Deliverance isn’t improvement—it’s replacement.

Sealing Sin’s Doom (Redemptions I.2, III.1 and Deliverance I.4)

Ever does sin exalt its head of gloom,

Binds me tightly, yielding death to my soul,

Yet Christ died, once for all, sealing sin’s doom.

But still finding soul’s transgressions my tomb,

Weighted down with bondage from the flesh’s toll,

Ever does sin exalt its head of gloom,

Insinuating with evil’s full bloom,

Yielding sin’s harvest never to condole.

Yet Christ died, once for all, sealing sin’s doom,

Eviscerating flesh born from the womb,

Crying “Paid in Full,” all my life made whole.

Ever does sin exalt its head of gloom,

A nightmare of repetition does loom,

Anguished soul’s bereavement cry, “My joy stole,”

Yet Christ died, once for all, sealing sin’s doom;

Taking up all sorrows, sin to entomb,

Bearing every grief, Satan ne’er to troll.

Ever does sin exalt its head of gloom,

Yet Christ died, once for all, sealing sin’s doom.

 Comment: Sin’s loops follow form—the repetition itself seals by repetition
