I’m putting on Christ,
I’m wearing the robe of love
wrapping it around me
till it fits like a glove.
I’m going to don an attitude,
of humility and meekness
I’m going to bind myself up
with gentleness and kindness.
I’m putting on Christ,
after righteousness I’ll thirst
I’m going to hunger after
putting God in my life first.
I’m going to turn away,
from temptation and sin
I’m calling upon the power
He gives to me within.
I’m putting on Christ,
wrapping myself in His grace
for it’s the only way I know
to finish the faithful race!

“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh,
to fulfil the lusts thereof.”

“Putting on Christ” . . . this is a lovely and uplifting poem. I just watched a Joyce Meyer sermon, on TV, and she spoke about this too. Perfect timing, for both, for me. Thank you! Bright Blessings, Faerie

Putting on Christ is the first thing I do each morning. When I don’t I know I am in for trouble! ~ Blessings ~

Reblogged this on Nifesimi Okeyide and commented:
These passages came to my mind. . . Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the desires of the flesh Galatians 5: 16 . . . By strength shall not man prevail 1 Samuel 2: 9 . . . and Seek ye First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you Matthew 6: 33.
