Now that I am alive,
I no longer conform . . .
to the ways of the world
nor to it’s social norms.
For with Christ living in me,
I now have a new life
releasing me from the issues
once causing me strife.
Now that I am dead,
to sin and transgressing
I can see how eternal hope
was once absent and missing.
For now that I am awake,
sober, alert and aware
with the world and its ideals
I’ve no longer a love affair.
Now that I am alive,
with the world behind me
I long for the day . . .
when with Jesus I’ll be!
~~~~~~~~
For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall
all be made alive.
Among whom also we all had
our conversation in times past
in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were by
nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
But God, who is rich in mercy,
for his great love wherewith
he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
