Which
1
In death, slave to sin, imprisoned in darkness
My spirit, knew nothing more, elation in darkness
Spark flashes, faith deep within, to consciousness—sin
Sin nature, seeks out comfort, safety in darkness
My heart, burns to know, fleshy emancipation—life.
2
In faith, given by Him, justified before God
Through sacrifice, Christ brought peace, hope in glory
In trials, hope stands firm, by His love
Know sin, brought by Adam, brought forth death
Christ’s gift, grace to sinners, reconciles new life.
3
I died, in Christ’s death, buried with Him
To walk, in new life, freedom from sin
Death’s dominion, lost its sting, once for all
Turning away, an obedient slave, leading to righteousness
Granted fruit, leading to sanctification, to life eternal.
4
His sacrifice, fulfills the Law, setting me free
My death, by His grace, from the Law
Praise Him, for great mercy, in giving Law
God’s instruction, removed all doubt, my needing Him
Even so, knowing the right, I do wrong.
5
Christ freed, Law could not, live by Spirit
Fleshy mind, lives by flesh, enemy to God.
Spirit mind, lives by Spirit, life in righteousness
God’s son, crying Abba! Father! from my heart
Coming glory, I will conqueror, by God’s love.
6
I stop, I ponder them, flesh and Spirit
Is flesh, my body proper, or sexual sin?
Perhaps better, a “sinful nature”, something from within
But Spirit, the Holy Spirit, God my Master
His Spirit, gives me life. Why look back?
7
Fleshy desire, drew me away, church didn’t matter
His Spirit, pulled me in, but I resisted
Total anguish, flesh versus Spirit, God is Powerful
“Abram went”, faith drew him, light overcomes darkness
I went, walk by Spirit, toward new life.
8
New life, flesh to Spirit, sin to righteousness
Faith brought me to Christ, faith keeps me
In His love I praise His wondrous ways
Life eternal
