Those who know the full power of sin
Are the ones who stand and don't give in,
For they have braved the flood and waves,
Since they know and cry, "Jesus saves, Jesus saves."
Sin's mortal wounds that marred Christ's side
Leave all exposed and none to hide.
Those who know this full foul strength of sin
Are the ones who let no evil in,
Though still the invasion moves on,
Til Christ with wounded hands the victory won.
Darkness ought to fear His Name,
For Christ the Light, He took our blame.
He who knows the full malice of sin
Is the one who died to save all men,
Though perfect, yet man still is He,
We vile creatures were saved, by His blood made free.
Resistance to sin brought Christ's death,
Yet power more than sin gave breath.
