No Escape

by Amos Russel Wells

I threw my mantle over my head,
But my sin had dyed the mantle red,
So I hid my face in my hands instead.

But my hands with sin's leprosy were white,
So I closed my eyes; and that inward sight
Showed the sin enthroned in my spirit's night!

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

– Romans 3:23
The Bible, KJV

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

– Romans 6:23
The Bible, KJV

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

– Romans 5:8
The Bible, KJV

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

– 1 John 1:9
The Bible, KJV
