What Price For A Soul ?
For what price would you trade a life;
knowing a life’s purpose and goal;
what is the value of a husband or wife;
and, what would you pay for a soul?
Would you ransom a husband or wife;
or, maybe a daughter or son:
what is the value of someone’s life;
at what price; could it be won?
Would you sell your soul for a price;
with the devil, as auctioneer;
is it too risky to just roll the dice;
what have we got, to fear?
In reality, few would pay such a price;
the risk offers little reward;
fewer would take the devil’s advice;
they’d rather die by the sword.
A righteous man might even dare to die;
to purchase the life of a friend;
but the Master made a much better buy;
purchasing evil’s end.
Only love can forgive all transgressions;
life wasn’t created to buy or sell;
death was outbid by man’s confessions;
leaving death alone, in hell.
Such a deal with the devil has been done;
our Master died; our life to save;
through death; the victory is already won;
love purchased life from the grave.
