|
The fleeting hours of mourning come |
|
But soon pass away |
|
The thought of laying 'neath a slab |
|
Seems an unenticing gray |
|
Life as it is, life as it was |
|
The difference in dark and light |
|
The only way to truly live is to |
|
Let my flesh die |
|
Romans 6 tells me I'm a slave |
|
A slave of righteousness |
|
My carnal mind tells me |
|
From sin there will be no rest |
|
Because of sacrificial rights |
|
I now stand not condemned |
|
Once a slave to mortality |
|
I now reckon myself dead |
|
I've reckoned myself dead |
|
I've been entombed |
|
Knowing this, that our old man |
|
Was crucified with him |
|
That the body of sin might be done away with |
|
We should no longer be enslaved to sin |
|
We are not to live as the damned |
