A New Creation

IN spite of all, it still is perfect peace,
And shalt be in obedience to Thy word,
My loving Guide! my God and Comforter!
For “I have kept the faith,”―am walking still
Upon the water of Thy living Word;
And hence I know for certain the “old things”―
Self; sins, and nature, ALL “are passed away,”
Forgiven―aye, forgotten; and this, too,
In thorough harmony, consistently,
With all Thine attributes, Most Holy God!
“All things are NEW!”
