His love is what makes us live, love, sing, and praise forever.

Thus far did I come laden with my sin;
Nor could aught ease the grief that I was in
Till I came hither: What a place is This!

Must here the strings that bound it to me crack?
Blest Cross! blest Sepulchre! blest rather be
The Man that was put to shame for me.

Just as Christian came up to the Cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, fell from off his back, and began to tumble down the hill, and so it continued to do till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre. There it fell in, and I saw it no more!
