“They gave our Master a crown of thorns, why do we hope for a crown of roses?”

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.
