Our Body, His Temple

So dear saint, seek purity
Flee immorality, lust
Let our body, God’s Temple
Be sanctified, in His trust.

Know if trusting, believing
The gospel of Jesus’ salvation
By the pledge, of His Spirit
We are sealed, His new creation!

“Therefore, you shall be perfect
Just as your Father in heaven”
Yeshua, the perfect Lamb of God
Messiah’s offering, for our transgression.

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.

With no Temple, no blood offering
God’s Law and Prophets foretold
They deny Messiah, Yeshua
Who alone … for all atoned.

Know faith, is our certainty
Our sure expectation
Based on our certain hope
As we wait, in anticipation.

With death to self-will
The way of the Cross
By grace submit all
With the Lord, ‘tis not loss.

Be so blessed, if obeying
But so cursed, if rebelling
Yes, God warned His people
Lest His Word, start betraying.

Yet the lives of those lost
Was not in vain
With the rebirth of Israel
God’s will, He’ll attain.

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.
