How to Live in Christ

Be daily dying, to myself
Putting on the LORD Jesus
To walk by faith, being faithful
Knowing You, are ever with us.

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

Be willing, to die daily
See self-crucified
As a child of the King
In Christ, all supplied.

Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.

And as a branch, in His vine
Jesus tells us, keep abiding
To bear fruit, of God’s Spirit
His ‘Self-control’, He is providing.

For if ignoring, or ignorant
Of God’s truth and reality
We’re poorly armed in the fight
Against temptation, so face calamity.

We daily crucify our flesh
As we abide, in Christ Jesus
Resolve to live, but by God’s Word
Assured God’s Spirit, is ever with us!

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.
