He lives in us, the Christ of God, his Spirit joins with ours; he brings to us the Father's grace with powers beyond our powers. So when enticing sin grows strong, and human nature fails, God's Spirit in our inner self fights for us, and prevails. Our pangs of guilt and fears of death are Satan's stratagems - by Jesus Christ who died for us God pardons: who condemns? And when we cannot feel our faith, nor bring ourselves to pray, the Spirit pleads with God for us in words we could not say. God gave the Son to save us all - no greater love is known! And shall that love abandon us who have become Christ's own? For God has raised him from the grave, in this we stand assured; so none can tear us from God's love in Jesus Christ our Lord.
