If sin were somehow shown on us,
Where everyone could see,
Would we seek to cleanse its stain
Or live and let it be?
                
For if this world accepted it
And praised the things it did.
We'd need no mask to hide behind,
'Cause nothing would be hid.
 
But if we want to go beyond,
This sinful world we know,
We'll have to cleanse each sinful stain,
Or we won't get to go!

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
