he_o and_o live_v upon_o he_o i_o can_v see_v no_o way_n but_o he_o be_v glorious_a o_o love_n for_o delight_n the_o thirteen_o reason_n a_o believer_n desire_v to_o live_v on_o christ_n because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v pay_v all_o and_o do_v all_o for_o he_o he_o have_v buy_v all_o for_o he_o and_o say_v the_o believer_n all_o i_o have_v be_v from_o christ_n have_v i_o peace_n

be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o according_a to_o his_o abundant_a mercy_n have_v beget_v we_o again_o unto_o a_o lively_a hope_n all_o the_o joy_n i_o have_v and_o hope_v i_o have_v of_o heaven_n be_v buy_v by_o christ_n all_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n i_o have_v all_o the_o glory_n my_o soul_n be_v crown_v with_o all_o the_o joy_n my_o heart_n be_v
