Poem

Redeemed by God to own eternal life
Forgiven, my soul is now heaven-bound
To soar for faith venture on higher ground
As new creature freed from hell-chained strife.

Subduing flesh, championing sublime will
My quickened spirit takes up cross with grace
Surmounting temptations by Scriptures’ brace
I strive toward triumphant service-hill.

Crucified with Christ, nonetheless I live*
Dying to selfishness, vanquishing pride
Revived by the Holy Ghost’s divine light
To thrive in His love as best for Him give
Rejoicing for wondrous heavenly ride
While sharing with others Gospel delight.

*Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
