The law impotent

The law impotent

no power over us

washed clean by the blood

the slate wiped clean.

Every crime, every sin

every word spoken in anger

all of the things I have ever done

nailed to the cross.

Nothing of the old remaining

made new in Christ

healed of our brokenness

forgiven, to live in the light.

The power of the world

snuffed out on Calvary

the wall of separation

for Christ bought the victory.
