Under the "Law" with its tenfold lash,
Learning, alas, how true
That the more I tried
The sooner I died, While the "Law" cried-
"You," "You," "You."

Hopelessly still did the battle rage.
"Oh, wretched man," my cry,
And deliverance sought
By some penance bought
While my soul cried-
"I," "I," "I."

Then came a day when my struggles ceased;
And, trembling in every limb, At the foot of a tree
Where One died for me,
I sobbed out-
"HIM," "HIM," HIM."!

"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith" (Gal. 3:24).

"O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?…! thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 7:24, 25).

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:1).
