Our ‘Flesh’ has to Die

So have we died with Christ
Our flesh on the Cross?
Are we carnal and selfish
Or count all things as loss?

Since we were purchased, by His blood
The price, now fully paid
Sealed and stamped for eternity
We’re counted righteous, be not afraid.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

Learn from Jesus, He set boundaries
Offered help, if ears were open
From the Pharisees, to His disciples
With all, that He had spoken.

Why do You stand
Afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide
Amidst troubles, outpoured?

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

Since am weakened, in my body
And so no longer, can do all
But can rest in my weakness
Upon His strength, I daily call.

Stay thankful, midst trials
See the sufferings, we face
When trusting in Jesus
Become blessings, by grace.

Don’t harden your heart
Staying stubborn, defiant
With grievances, grudges
Hard-headed, self-reliant.

His primary goal, our salvation
Our atonement, kept His Word
Yet first trained, His disciples
To spread His Gospel, to the world.
