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?

A Call to Repentance

Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.

“I Never Knew You”

Yes, are wearing Jesus’ Name
And call themselves Christians
But are not born again
So rebellious, no contrition.

Wanting the Fruit

So let ‘self’ die, be buried
Let His roots, shoot above
Bearing fruit of His Spirit
Thro’ Christ Jesus … His love.

Waiting for Apologies?

“If you won’t forgive
God won’t forgive you”.
Strong words from the Master
Yet certain and true.

 Self or the Savior?

Instead, self becomes center
Instead of Christ
Our thinking, our deciding
Self-fulfilment, our prize.

Still Resentful?

So instead of your resentments
Repent, come seek His light
Washed clean, of all your sin
Be now forgiven, in Christ.

‘Self’ has to Die

The verdict is in
And, ‘self’ has to die
Against our carnal cravings
Long deceived, by a lie.

Seek Repentance

Seek, true fruits of repentance
As you search your heart
A new walk, not just talk
By God’s Spirit, a new start.

Repent

From my selfishness, pride
And self-centered ways
This hardness, indifference
Transform me… I pray!
