Romans 7

|
| | Romans 7 |
| 1. | Our old man has been crucified with Christ; |
| | Yes, all we are in oldness He sufficed |
| | To bring to naught upon the cross that He |
| | Himself as our new Husband fully be |
| | Enjoyed by us. |
| 2. | Yes, all our strength of independence died, |
| | For we with Christ were fully crucified. |
| | Now we're so glad to be His proper wife, |
| | Dependently enjoying Him as life |
| | Forevermore. |
| 3. | Our dying was not such a sad affair, |
| | The new man was rejoicing to be there; |
| | The old man dead and buried, we were free |
| | To marry Christ, and live eternally, |
| | His wife, fore'er. |
| 4. | Now as the new, regenerated man, |
| | We do two things, according to God's plan: |
| | Bear fruit to God and serve in spirit new |
| | So God becomes the fruit of all we do, |
| | And all we are. |
| 5. | There are three laws in Romans seven, see- |
| | The law of God; the mind, the good old me; |
| | The sinful law indwelling bodily; |
| | Yet from these all the Lord has set us free, |
| | To live by Him. |
| | In Romans eight the law of Spirit is, |
| | Where we're in Christ, and we are fully His, |
| | The law of life has set us wholly free |
| | And Christ becomes our life eternally, |
| | Hallelujah! |
