. Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, 2. Fast bound in Satan’s chains I lay, 3. My own good works availed me naught, 4. But God beheld my wretched state 5. He spoke to His beloved Son: 6. This Son obeyed His Father’s will, 7.To me He spake: Hold fast to Me, 8. The Foe shall shed My precious blood, 9. Now to My Father I depart, 10. What I have done and taught, teach thou, Dr. Martin Luther, 1523 It's amazing how much can change in song lyrics in 485 years, eh? Certainly when both are concentrated on the One and True God.
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the victory won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
Death brooded darkly o’er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Yea, deep and deeper still I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
No merit they attaining;
Free will against God’s judgment fought,
Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left naught but death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
Before the world’s foundation,
And, mindful of His mercies great,
He planned my soul’s salvation.
A father’s heart He turned to me,
Sought my redemption fervently:
He gave His dearest Treasure.
‘Tis time to have compassion.
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him that he
May live with Thee forever.
Was born of virgin mother,
And God’s good pleasure to fulfill,
He came to be my Brother.
No garb of pomp or power He wore,
A servant’s form, like mine, He bore,
To lead the devil captive.
I am thy Rock and Castle;
Thy Ransom I Myself will be,
For thee I strive and wrestle;
For I am with thee, I am thine,
And evermore thou shalt be Mine;
The Foe shall not divide us.
Me of My life bereaving.
All this I suffer for thy good;
Be steadfast and believing.
Life shall from death the victory win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin;
So art thou blest forever.
The Holy Spirit sending
And, heavenly wisdom to impart,
My help to thee extending.
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow Me,
And in all truth shall guide thee.
My ways forsake thou never;
So shall My kingdom flourish now
And God be praised forever.
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The heavenly treasure should destroy;
This counsel I bequeath thee.

Show us a flag.
Do we really need to answer this question?
Obviously, some people just don't get it, even after 60 yrs plus.
Hitler was evil. He had to be stopped.
Tell me this.
Would a person who was born again by the Holy Spirit of God go totally against what the Creator of Life created?
I.think.not.
We shall know them by their fruits...
