Treasures In Jars of Clay - 2 Corinthians 4: 9-11

God’s children live within the brink where death can be so very near it’s a tightrope flickering on life’s edge but constantly lifted up by God so dear For we indeed in Christ crucified standing within His body of death so His life is manifested in our own living or dying even to our last breath In this life we give up our rights to follow in His body on Calvary road taking up His cross whatever it means for His sake alone no matter His load We have living within us Jesus Himself filled by His spirit leading us to victory onward to glory fight off every storm His is the victory this will be our history So we can aptly call ourselves treasures in jars of clay being formed in Christ’s likeness make me like Jesus we must pray ( 2 Corinthians 4:9-11 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.)
