One man’s music is another’s noise,
One man’s tools are another’s toys;
One man’s work is another’s pleasure,
One man’s junk is another’s treasure.
One man’s dream is another’s nightmare,
One man’s hope is another’s despair,
One man’s success is another’s demise,
One man’s loss is another’s prize.
One man’s blood saved another’s life,
One man’s suffering healed another’s stripes;
One man’s cross purchased another’s redemption,
One man’s death bought another’s salvation.

For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned
through that one man, how much more will those who
receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the
gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man,
Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17)
