Christ’s Exchanges

For scarceness Christ brings plenty. He is Bread, that living
Bread by which the soul is fed.

For sorrow Christ brings gladness. He is Joy. Pleasures
he gives neither time nor death destroy.

For terror Christ brings safety. He’s the Tower to which
his people run in danger’s hour.

For falseness Christ brings truth. Sheer Truth is he.
They are his freemen whom the truth makes free.

For death he brings us Life for evermore. Our sins
and deaths upon the cross he bore.
