All I have in Adam is but sin and death,
|
|---|
|
| 1. | All I have in Adam is but sin and death, |
| | I in Christ inherit life and righteousness; |
| | When in flesh abiding, Adam I express, |
| | But when in the spirit Christ is manifest. |
| 2. | When I am in Adam, though I may not sin, |
| | Unto death, a sinner, sentenced I have been; |
| | When in Christ I need not righteously to act, |
| | I'm already righteous, justified in fact. |
| 3. | In the flesh I need no effort to express |
| | Marks of Adam's nature and its sinfulness; |
| | In the spirit I need not to strive or strain, |
| | I can live as He is and in spirit reign. |
| 4. | Thru my death with Christ, from Adam I am |
| | free, |
| | Thru my life with Christ, new life is given me! |
| | Minding not the flesh, old Adam cannot move, |
| | Minding just the spirit, life divine I prove. |
| 5. | Minding just the spirit is God's saving way, |
| | Minding just the spirit, Christ we will display; |
| | Minding just the spirit, we can overcome, |
| | Minding just the spirit, we the race may run. |
| 6. | Minding just the spirit, we the cross will know, |
| | And His resurrection pow'r thru us will flow; |
| | Minding just the spirit, Christ will live thru |
| | me, |
| | And His life within will reach maturity. |
| 7. | In the spirit Christ is life and all to me, |
| | Strengthening and blessing all-inclusively; |
| | Living in the spirit, holiness I prove, |
| | And the triune God within my heart doth |
| | move. |
