In saving our life we lose it Archives - Page 2 of 4

Dying to Self

Since now our life, is not our own;
We are created, and redeemed;
Not to succumb, to selfish wants;
But daily live, with God esteemed.

Here, Jesus tells us the key;
To see victory, each day;
That we walk, in His Spirit;
Not our fleshly, carnal way.

Set my face as a flint;
My heart and my will;
To but please, my God;
So Holy Spirit, come fill.

Start ignoring, rejecting;
Those carnal desires;
Not feeding our flesh;
Starve of all, it requires.

Fix our free will, on God’s will;
Not to follow, our fallen nature;
Walk by faith, not by our feelings;
Obey God’s Word, our selfless Savior.

Such love, that passes knowledge
With which, you may be filled
With all the fullness of God
Through His Spirit, be fulfilled.

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

So teach us to number
Our days, that we gain
Grant us, a heart of wisdom
For our lives, we must explain.

Not avenging, separating
Building bridges, not walls
Not rejecting, but embracing
Seek Gods love, He answers all.

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