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.
