New Life

Romans 8:3 

For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

 

(John 1:14)

“The word became flesh and dwelt among us His Glory we beheld”.

The Glory of His Father ... full of Grace and Truth.

His Presence then we felt ... a gift so free and glorious

He came and set the foundation of Eternal brotherhood.

 

Christ did not come to educate or train the sinful flesh. 

He came to give us power ... to overcome its very nature.

For flesh is flesh and so it will be ... a mere dying extension

of the curse that came on man after the Fall without exception.

 

Regenerated I can be ... receiving God’s life into mine.

Adopted into His family ... related now to Christ.

It seems that forever now ... is reaching to the bone

and death is like a stranger ... that passes by alone.

 

Receiving God’s life into mine ... by new life through God my Savior

He restored my spirit and revived the right place in my being.

Related through the One ... Who paved the way for me.

He brought to life to what was dead in me and surely set me free.
