Yours! Mine!
(John Flavel, "
The Fountain of Life
")
Lord, the
condemnation
was
Yours
,
that the justification might be
mine!
The
agony
was Yours, that
the victory might be mine!
The
pain
was Yours,
and the ease mine!
The
stripes
were Yours, and the
healing balm issuing from them mine!
The
vinegar
and
gall
were Yours,
that the honey and sweet might be mine!
The
curse
was Yours, that
the blessing might be mine!
The
crown of thorns
was Yours,
that the crown of glory might be mine!
The
death
was Yours,
the life purchased by it mine!
You paid the price, that
I might enjoy the inheritance!
