OF

The things of Jesus Christ impinged on Paul

To the extent he counted all things loss

To gain the knowledge of Christ Jesus his Lord;

That excellency meant he rated dross

What he might be by nature or by law

Because he knew all ended at the cross.

Bondman of Jesus Christ he loved that bond

That in Christ’s day he might have his reward

But more that Christ through him should win applause.

He had the Spirit of Christ on which to draw

And that supply sustained through bitter wars.

The grace of Jesus Christ he left to all.
