The Cross Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

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.

And know, that these hurts
In your heart, cause resentment
So, ensure you forgive
Claim His forgiveness, be repentant.

Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.

So may our hearts, love God and people
God, daily search me, know my heart
Reveal all barriers, or wicked ways
Cleanse, transform me, a new start.

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

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

For we’re losing our lives
Jesus requires self-denial
Take the way of His cross
‘Tis God’s path for survival.

Shake us and wake us
Revive us, O Lord
Send down the fires
May Your Spirit, be poured.

We need vision to see
Our prime purpose in life
Fulfilling god’s calling
In this world of strife.
